Introducing Kaiyin Mariam Meseret Burke!!! It's official!

We got the call today! We passed court and this precious baby is officially our little girl! We are still in shock but just so overjoyed. It looks like we will be traveling to Ethiopia around the 27th of August to go pick her up! That's only 16 days away! We're so excited we can hardly stand it! Isn't she just beautiful?! After all these years, all the ups and downs, it all worked out exactly the way it was supposed to in the end. I wouldn't change a minute of it because it led us to Kaiyin. Thanks to everyone who has been praying and sending us love and good thoughts. It's been so awesome to share this journey with you and it's really just beginning. I'll update the blog when we have firm travel dates. Love you all!
