It's Official - We Passed Court!!!

We were pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call this morning from our agency letting us know that we passed court - a day early!! They were able to submit the birth mom's Identification electronically and the court accepted it and gave us a passing status! Now the paper gathering will commence so we can get submitted to the US embassy to obtain his Visa and bring him home!

So without anymore suspense - Introducing our Newest son....Bizuayehu Isaiah Krohn...

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!
