One Step closer!

Z wrote the letter he has to write agreeing to be adopted by us today. He has to go with the inspector to write it, because I guess she has to witness it for the judge. Not sure how that part works exactly... Anyway, he smiled at us before he left to go back to camp and gave us each a hug. He seemed happy and we were relieved. Due to his age, he is allowed the opportunity to say he doesn't want to be adopted. While I don't think that happens often, it does from time to time. We would have been heartbroken had that been the case. L does not have to write anything, because she is so young. I am not sure if the judge will ask her anything either. She can talk, but I haven't heard her say a whole lot. She does respond to questions though and knows her colors, so we have a good start. Apparently those things were not the case a year ago. Anyway, we are one step closer to getting them forever!! We go see L tomorrow. Z is going back to camp for a week and then he will return. We will see them both everyday once he returns. In the meantime we will see L each day.
To answer some questions, we know very little about parent history other than both parents are deceased. We may find out a bit more from their paperwork. Oh..one more thing that made me personally VERY happy... Z is lefthanded....just like me!! I took a dry erase board and markers when we were visiting him and he wrote with his left hand. At first I thought he was mimicking me, but A asked him if that was how he always wrote and he said Yes!! Yay!!! ( You have to be a lefty to fully appreciate my excitement! LOL)
Anyway,Please continue to pray for favor and speedy appointments and paperwork!
Love you all! We miss you!
