We can't believe it....WE ARE GOING HOME!!!! Thank you Lord!!!! I decided to call the Embassy today just to see that our DNA had arrived. I talked to the sweetest lady...and she told me that it hadn't arrived but she would go and check. She gets back on the phone and says, "can you come in tomorrow morning at 7"!!! WHAT??!!!! TOMORROW!! Needless to say, Chris couldn't make it in time......but we are SO EXCITED!!! WE WILL BE HOME NEXT WEEK!!! I feel like I am in a dream. On a funny note, there is a wonderful bead store here in Antigua....I asked them to make a special bracelet for Eliana....and we all decided to do multi-colored. So, I go by the store to pick it up today....and they decided to do it PINK!!! IT WAS PERFECT!!! Isn't she cute in her little bracelet?! Thank you all for following us through this journey. We are so grateful for the prayers.
Love you,
Lindsey
P.S. We will post lots of pics from the appointment week!!!

I have followed your blog for some time. We brought home our son in June from Guatemala. I just wanted to tell you that I have admired your strength through this, I can imagine there have been difficult days but you did what you felt was best for your DAUGHTER.
I think that the Lord has great things in store for Eliana. For starters He has placed her in a family that loves the Lord and lives in true abandon for Him! That is pretty great!
Hang in there, you are almost HOME!
THANK YOU JESUS!!!! So so so so so happy for you guys! Yay!!!!
Yippee!!
We are thrilled!!! We can hardly wait to drive to Nashville to meet
your plane and our granddaughter!!!
Yea God!!! Praise the Lord!
Love and Hugs,
Mary Helen and John
