And So She Is . . .

Ours.

After the second try through court, we have passed and Haley Zamara-Beth is officially and irrevocably our daughter. She is now 8 months old and waiting for us at the transition home in Addis Ababa. We will know on Friday whether or not we leave on Monday to make it to Ethiopia according to our original travel dates. But it is likely that our travel will be delayed as the courts are taking longer this month in processing the post-court paperwork needed for Haley's birth certificate and passport.

So now that we are official, we are able to post her pictures! Starting with her referral pics at 4 months old:

Then we received updated info and photos. This was her 6 month photo session:

And our most recent update revealed CURLS! And a very healthy baby who has gained a considerable amount of weight from the beginning, thanks to the wonderful care she has received at the AWAA transition home. She's also sporting some unique fashion finds . . .
