Three Beautiful words

These words just arrived from our POA: "I got it"

So beautiful, so full of meaning for our family!

Her precious visa is in his hands, and we are traveling to Ghana on Sunday!!!!

So many emotions going through my head right now, maybe later today or tomorrow I can write a post to process these thoughts, but for now, I just wanted to update family and friends that there are officially NO MORE OBSTACLES to bringing Grace home!
