Our Little Soul in Seoul: She is ours! We are hers!

This morning we went to court to finalize the adoption. Neil asked me yesterday if I was nervous, I said , "Heck yes!". So many things could go wrong, so many what ifs. I didn't realize how truly stressed I was until it was all over. All that paperwork, all the waiting and worrying something would go wrong or Holt would change their minds, or a million other silly, unrealistic fears, but fears nonetheless. All that was weighing us down was lifted with a simple signature. It was over in ten minutes. All of a sudden the fear that something in the system would take her away from us was Poof! Gone!
After things settled down and we were tackling the day as usual, Neil asked if it felt any different, and we both agreed it DOES feel different. It just feels 'right'. It is as it should be. There is comfort and peace in it. Even Z seems different, seeking me out tonight to kiss me (fairly rare). She knows, she too is at peace. God is truly wondrous. There are no words to express our live and deep gratitude for God for orchestrating all of this. To Him all glory.
