Sentencia!
Natalie Mae Jones is officially our daughter now! I got a call this morning to be ready in 30 minutes to go sign the official adoption paperwork. Our friends Matt and Brooke were gracious enough to watch Natalie for me since babies are not allowed in the courts. Yes, it was hard leaving her for the first time but I knew she was in good hands. Thanks Matt & Brooke! So, today I signed the paperwork and had a new birth certificate issued. I will spend the next few days getting her passport and visa. It will be nice to have my mom here to help with all the running around we will have to do. So, Natalie, Granny and I will be returning to Pensacola on Saturday. By the way, that was our originally scheduled flight. Thanks to my friends who have adopted before for the words of encouragement. You know just when a girl needs it! And all the prayers must have worked. We are so excited and can't wait to get home so that Natalie can pinch everyone's cheeks.....Oh, sorry maybe ya'll are supposed to pinch her cheeks! Well, I will leave you for now with some pictures of Natalie's reaction to the news.

Oh, I was hoping you would hear some news soon!!! We are so happy for you! The next few days will be hectic, but will be well worth it. I'm glad that your Mom will be there to help watch Natalie for you. That's what my Mom did when I went running around for all of the paperwork. Well, get it all done and get home! We can't wait to see the new Jones family!
By the way, can we hitch a ride or follow Christy and come meet Natalie?! haha JK We'll try to be patient.
Lots of love,
Deborah, Gary and Sean

I just talked to Sherri about when your Mom was going to be leaving and she told she left this morning. We will be praying for her a safe trip. I know she is anxious to hold that precious Natalie. Hurry home and we are looking forward to meeting this precious gift from God. Tell Karen not to spoil her too bad!!!

I know Granny hasn't stopped talking about Natalie at work. You better watch out, She won't be able to put Natalie down. But that's OK, that what we grandma's do. I'm so happy for your family.

Congratulation. Hope all goes well for the rest of the week and you get the rest of the papers so you will be able to come home as scheduled. Besides looking perfect Natalie even sounds perfect. I was wondering if she ever cries. I bet she missed you yesterday when you had to leave her. It is going to be a wonderful home coming for all of you. God Bless and keep you all safe. Thinking of you, Faye
