Hope Victoria was born today at 1:10 p.m. weighing 8lbs 5oz, she is 20 1/2 inches long.
Rick and I have been with her since scrub time, where we were first introduced to one of the highest octives known to man.
The birth mom and her husband are doing well and have shared that they are at peace moving forward with the adoption, however the state will not allow any paperwork to be signed until the 72 hours is up on Saturday.
Needless to say we are elated with joy and overwhelmed at God's Amazing Grace.
We continue to covet your prayers as we journey through the next 62 hours. Rick will be leaving at 4am to head to Dulles for the Romania trip. My in-laws arrived today and will remain here with me until we head home next week. The state requires that we stay for a clearance that will hopefully be obtained by Wednesday.
Ps 62:5 is where we were given Hope's name and her daddy wanted a middle name that of a Princess. I wanted something strong and successful...thus Hope Victoria....the expectancy of something truly desired. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!

Rick and Michelle,
She's absolutely beautiful! We can't wait to meet her.
Enjoy these remaining hours!! Don't let the enemy cause you to fear or rob your joy. You've trusted in God, you've been faithful so there is no reason you should not be bold before the Lord with your requests. He is a God who rewards those who seek Him. Rick, we know this is the toughest time for you ever! Stay strong. What an example you are even in the face of trials! We'll keep praying for you guys. We'll call when we get home from Mission Trip.
We LOVE YOU!!! Kurt, Kathy and the kids :)
