Hi all!
This morning we received our updated sentencia - yay! It is officially official - Gabby is stuck with us for life - and we have the document to prove it! It came sooner than we expected and we were pleasantly suprised. As soon as we found out we began making plans to drive to Yolombo to get Gabriela's new birth certificate. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive each way but her new birth certificate has to be issued there since that is where her birth was originally registered. We started dreaming of possibly getting to Bogota and getting everything done by the end of the week. Until, that is, we learned that the notary in Yolombo is closed today... and tomorrow. So, Thursday we will head to Yolombo for the birth certificate and Friday we will get Gabby's passport, after which we can head to Bogota. We are hoping we can head home next Thursday or Friday.
Gabriela is doing really well. We thought she was coming down with a cold and then a couple of days ago I noticed two new teeth coming in! We kept thinking she was due for a few more, but we hadn't seen any sign of them. Then, this morning, I noticed a THIRD one coming in! Three at once! They are not all in a row so she is going to look like a little pirate. Needless to say, she has NOT been an especially happy camper, but she's doing better today.
Anyway, we are heading in to the home stretch. Thanks for the thoughts, comments, e-mails, and phone calls.
Love,
Leslie, Daniel, and Gabriela

Congratulations! I know that's a big day...my parents had a huge party the day my adoption was finalized and still tell me about it - so I know how excited and happy you are!
We can't wait for you to return and hope we get the chance to see you and meet your little princess asap!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you for smooth sailing the rest of the way.
