Jonah and mommy took a roadtrip to our state Capitol on Wednesday to get our child-specific documents authenticated! It's only about an hour from our home so we thought it was well worth the drive in order to speed up the paperwork process. {Otherwise we could've mailed it in and waited for it to come back. But who knows how long that would take? We have been in the process to adopt for a year now, so I'm happy to do anything I can to keep the process moving along smoothly.} So we hopped in our car and made a fun little day of it!

| OUR DOCUMENTS ARE AUTHENTICATED!! YAYY!!! {Sorry, this picture is refusing to upload correctly.} We even got to stop by and visit with some of our dear friends who live nearby! |

| Friends. Snack buddies. Future husband and wife? We shall see... They would make some cute blonde-haired, blue-eyed kids. =) And we would absolutely LOVE to have her parents as part of our family! |
And we (Jon and I) are scheduled to get about 9 shots each next week. (YIKES!!!) Not only do I hate needles, I hate that the yellow fever shot alone is around $150-200! I am happy to get the recommended shots, I just hate how expensive they are and that our good insurance still doesn't cover them. Ahhhh well, I need to remind myself that the Lord has continued to provide for us and somehow we will pay for all these crazy shots. (I'll give you the rundown next week, incase any other DRC adoptive families behind us in the process are reading this & want to know all the shots that are recommended before you travel.)
Happily Authenticated and waiting for baby girl's abandonment decree & birth certificate,
I still can't believe it! So excited for you guys!!!
