SENTENCIA!

We got the call at 5:30 tonight that we have sentencia!!! We just got back from a celebration dinner out with Ann & Camillo. John is going to court to sign the papers tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10:00 am. to make Athena an official Zuge! We're going to try to get all of the paperwork accomplished by Friday or Monday. Soooo, if all goes well we will most likely be home on Monday or Tuesday of next week! We'll let everyone know as soon as we know! No pictures today, we just wanted to send a quick note to tell everyone our good news.
Love,
Nic, John and Athena

Yeah for the Zuges!! We are so, so, so, so happy for you.

For us, it seems like you just left. We have been enjoying your blog so much and look forward to your updates and pictures. I know that for you, it seems like you have been gone forever and a day. But the end is now officially in sight and you get to bring home the best souvineer ever! (no, not the coffee :))

Lauren says that there is no better birthday gift than a new friend. So she is glad that Athena will be home very soon. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her homecoming.

Congratulations Mom and Dad, and Happy Mothers Day, Nic!

Hugs and Kisses,
Beth, Jim, and Lauren

Congratulations, Athena!!! This is such an exciting day for your parents, IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! I loved going to the courthouse to sign that document. What a great feeling to know this is the beginning of your new life together as a family. I am just so excited for you guys, and I can't wait to meet you all. Hopefully you will come down to the Chicago area and meet our group of Colombian adoptive families soon.
