Redman Adoption Court Hearing

It’s official folks... Paula has given birth to two 11 year old girls and we have named them Julia and Nayda. The Redman clan is now 5 strong!





We went to court yesterday and the hearing was very short, only 25 minutes. It was the next 7 hours of waiting that killed us… I won’t go into all the details here as I am saving them for my book, but it was easier than we thought, there were more officials than we thought, more time than we thought…more, more, more.

There is still quite a bit of work to do like getting the birth certificates, passports, medical, and US embassy stuff, not to mention throwing a going away party for the girls at the orphanage, and bunch of other things… but for the most part we are wrapping up this part of the journey.

God has truly been watching over us, and we thank him for taking care of us and blessing us with 2 awesome children.
