Greatest News Ever!

Yesterday, as we geared up to go to the George Strait concert (yes, it was fabulous!) I got a call from my husband. He and Buddy took the car in to the shop to get some work done on it, and left me home to sleep in (which was also fabulous!).

"Are you sitting down?" he asked.

"No." He didn't sound upset, so I wasn't too worried.

"Sit down right now," he told me.I sat down to humor him, and expected a punchline.

"Okay, I'm sitting."

"I just got off the phone with the attorney's office." My heart sank. "She signed the papers this morning."

"What??""That woman signed the papers this morning! Mr. H just got out of court and told his assistant to call me and let me know."

- there was no punchline!Excuse me a moment while I scream...

SHE SIGNED THE RELINQUISHMENT PAPERS!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The court date on August 4th has just gone from an evidentiary hearing to a request for finalization on our adoption! Buddy is free and clear to be adopted

-AND OURS FOREVER!!!!!

Thank you to all those who have prayed and hoped for this with us over the past year. Our prayers have been answered!
