**UPDATE**

We got fabulous news this afternoon!!!!! I could just shout from the rooftops. Kylie's birthfather has signed relinquishment papers!!!!!!!!! Our attorney received a copy of it this afternoon and he will not have the opportunity to appeal. We are so grateful. We are so thrilled and excited that our little sweet pea will be ours forever.

We would ask you all to include a prayer or two for Abbie over the next few days. It has been a very emotional time for her we will be traveling up to Oakland county again tomorrow where she will also be signing relinquishment papers. Things are starting to come to a close for us all, and it has been especially hard on her. We are so proud of her. She is a brave young woman, who has carried the heavy burden of protecting Kylie and doing what is best for her since last year. We honor her and love her. She loves Kylie so much and has always wanted nothing but the absolute best for her. The next few days will be hard. So any prayers you can send her way would be very appreciated. We love you Abbie!

Through we haven't received word yet about how long it will take ICPC to clear, we are hoping that we'll be able to come home at the end of next week. We'll probably find out soon.
