IT'S FINAL

Well, it has been a very long time since I have updated our blog and now I have found the time to do so while she sleeps. : ) Yesterday was AWSOME a definte God Day!!! Allen told Lauren as he was putting her in the car, "you are mine!!! You are my daughter!!!." Not that she wasn't already but in the back of your minds you are in constant prayer that all goes well and nothing holds up such a day as an adoption finalization. As a mom/women I felt and expressed the stress a lot more than Allen but when it was over he let it all out. Funny how God made us different, men and women, I mean. He was ever so strong for the both of us and when I was not having as much faith and trust as I should of he was there to pick me up and then my Heavenly Father was of course always there!!!
We celebrated all day and continually told Lauren that this was her day and I think she knew it!! She was a happy little one all day and crashed at the end of it but only for a short while. For at 1:00 she wanted mom and that was final and I enjoyed the need she had. When I get the pics from this glorious day I will share them with you. Forever praising God for our wonderful gift!!!
Allen, Penny and Lauren
