Well we both feel like we were cramming for college finals...going over all the notes we took with our facilitator and translator...anyway at 1:52PM Krasnoyarsk time the judge decreed that C was now one of us!!! Andrew was able to come into the courtroom to hear the decree read. When we were done we shook hands with the judge and she held her hand out to Andrew and he shook her hand like he was a grown man and not our little boy. As you can see by the picture Andrew was wearing his new suit which he calls his "business suit."
Here is a picture of us outside the courthouse after our hearing
More to come later....

You don't know us, but we are friends with Kristin and Rob and we have been following your adoption story. We have really enjoyed reading your posts and knowing what and when to pray for you! We are so glad that things are going so well for you and we will continue to pray for your whole family, including the girls, who I know you are missing. May this time to get to bond with both your sons be a wonderful time for all of you. May God hold you all in his loving arms.
Ashley and Riley are very happy that the "Judge said that Mommy and Daddy can bring baby brother home...". They say that they love you both very, very much!
Praise God for this special blessing! We are so pleased to have another grandson. Can't wait to start spoiling him! Wonder what kind of cookies he'd like to have?
