Introducing...

Kellsey Jean Victoria Garcia
Daughter to Frank and Renee Garcia
Sister to Kassidy, Kameron, Kennedy & Keeghan Garcia


Court went fine today. The judge asked us a lot of questions about why we want to adopt Kellsey and if there are good programs for her where we live. She asked what our hopes are for her future and why we chose her over a boy. She really asked Frank more questions than she did to me... maybe because I started crying! LOL We showed her our photo album and she said we look like a very happy family and she was very happy for Kellsey. Then the director of Kellsey's baby home gave a run down of her medical history again, the judge asked if we had any questions, if we were SURE we wanted to adopt her, (and of course we said yes) and then she said "Congratulations, she is your daughter!" and that was that!

We went to the Embassy to sign some papers so I can fly home tomorrow and we got to stop in and visit with Kellsey for a few minutes. She was very happy today. Her little cheeks are SO broken out. Hopefully we can get them cleared up! I'm glad I got to see her before I left! Please pray that all continues to go smoothly for Frank as he finishes up here! He'll be updating the adoption blog, which is now public! :)

She is going to be an amazing addition to your family.

You know, now that I think back, the judge asked Tom more questions than she did me too. Where was court, Kyiv or Irpen?

Congratulations!!! So happy for you all. Have a safe trip. When can your hubby get her out of the Baby Home?
I know you must be so excited to get home and see your other Special K's. I am glad your hubby can stay with her--will make it somewhat easier to leave (I think!!!)
