Today is the Day!!!!

This morning I got an email from my adoption agency - I passed court!!! And this whole scenario about me getting to do my parental interview while I was there and court happening like this - he literally said "I have to admit that in the past six years this is a first but it is certainly a wonderful first." Seriously!!! Talk about favor!!! It's all glory to God. To say I'm overjoyed, is an understatement. Now I wait for an Embassy date and then I go bring him home.

So as of today - Friday, August 10th - I am legally my sweet boys momma! And therefore, let me introduce you to my precious son: Mihretu James Samuel Kerr

  6. Congratulations!!! I've been following your blog since January - when I started the process of trying to adopt two children I've been fostering. I bought some of your merchandise - the print is hanging in the kids' room and I often wear the "Dream Big, Love Big" pendant. When I see these items, I remember to pray for you. So happy to hear how God has answered!!!
    The same day you got your news, the decision was made that I can adopt the two little girls I've been caring for this past year. Your blog has been an encouragement to me as I've pursued this adoption as a single mom.
    Will continue praying for everything to come together in God's perfect timing!!!
