Certificate of United States Citizenship


Eva Monet Jiawan Baltes' Certificate of United States Citizenship arrived on Friday, January 7th, 2011.  As Eva played on her bedroom floor, we opened the big white envelope.  She had no idea how significant this piece of paper was to her and the life that lay before her.  David and I, on the other hand, did.  We cried.  

Thank you Lord.  You have blessed us richly.

  5. Awww, what a cute set of pics - adorable outfit for an adorable princess :)

    Congrats on the COC - it is such a special moment - don't you love how the adoption journey has so many memorable special moments built in to it? Dates to reminisce over, like the altar/marker stones that the Israelites used to remember the goodness of Jehovah!
