I AM NOW OFFICIALLY THE MOTHER OF SEVEN!!!
Hallelujah!!! I have to admit, with so little time for Social Services to prepare and mail the requested reports, I was expecting to hear that court would be rescheduled (I know, "ye of little faith") and, when there was no news from Bulgaria waiting for me in my inbox this morning, I was convinced that was the case. But when the phone rang at 9 am and I heard Toni's voice, I knew that the Lord had worked another mighty miracle!
And now, I would like to OFFICIALLY introduce my two beautiful daughters:
Alayna Svetelina Rieben
Lilyana Claire Rieben
