Cute pictures

When pictures are as cute as these, they need to be shared!
These were taken at the water park last week. Bev, Nicolae, Cristian and I had a wonderful day together.

Bev headed back to the states yesterday. The boys and I miss her already!
We can't wait to go to the states and finally be home!

The Court said "YES!"

Hi Everyone! Here is a picture of all of us celebrating!

Today was a great day. The courts said "yes" to both Karen and me. We are sending up praises for sure!

Karen and I were in separate court rooms today.My meeting was very short. It lasted 1 maybe 2 minutes. Seriously. The judge asked for a copy of the newspaper that proved we tried to contact the biological father(once again). The lawyer from the DPC and my lawyer each handed the judge the notice from the newspaper. Then immediately after that, the judge asked if Nicolae Thomas Vaughn and Cristian Jack Vaughn were the names I wanted for the boys. We gave a collective "Da" and that was it. It was so fast. I don't think the reality of it all has even hit me yet. We all hooped and hollered once we got outside the court room.
Afterwards, we went down to wait for Karen's court hearing. She was one of the very last ones. Her judge was new and asked Karen lots of questions. Karen was very nervous because she knew that they still had not located Beti's biological father. However, it all turned out great in the end!
We all went to Hard Rock Cafe afterwards. It was an amazing day. Now we can begin waiting some more for the final court papers...arrgh and then HEAD HOME!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for all your support and prayers. Tonight it is praises all around!
Wahhhoooooo!

My New Court Date is Here...Tues. Aug. 5th

Here is a recent picture of Cristi, Bev, Nicolae and me. We are all anxious and nervous about tomorrow's court date. Please Pray. The boys, Bev and I are all ready for this to be over.
We need your prayers and a few miracles.
I found out that there will be yet another judge for tomorrow's court date, along with a different lawyer representing me from the DPC. Oh and Mr. Mocanu won't be there either. He is in Italy on vacation. Mr. Moncanu has arranged for a lawyer friend of his to be there with me. I will meet her tomorrow morning.
So... yes all these changes along with just the normal stuff that goes with trying to finally adopt....it is a bit stressful. I am doing my best to remember that God is in control and that He is in control of tomorrow's outcome.
My prayer, of course, is that tomorrow will be the final court date and we can all send up praises of joy!
We need to be there at 8:30 am tomorrow (Tuesday morning), which is 10:30 pm Monday night for all of you.
Oh and Julie is coming tomorrow as a witness...Just in case. Sometimes the judges require a witness and sometimes they don't. Nannette is planning to be there as well. Rebecca and Petra are watching the boys for me. The boys will stay at their house tonight. A blessing for sure. It will be much easier getting ready tomorrow morning.
Thanks in advance for all your prayers.
Love,
Debbie

A fun day with Nann
