I-71H is here

Our 171H arrived in the mail tonight. That is our final approval that we were waiting for from the US immigration. Javier just walked through the door with the mail and started reading the form out loud amidst the hecticness of getting dinner served. I stopped and said, "What? Let me see that." (Javier is always joking, so I never know whether to believe him) Once I saw it I told the kids that we can now officially adopt. They all cheered and Julia (5) said, "EXCUSE ME, CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? Let's give 3 cheers to God" Then everyone started the hip, hip hoorays. It was so fun and just an outburst of sincere joy. Now we are waiting on the Zambian government and our agency.
