He's all ours now... well, kinda

Court went well today. At the end of the day, we were granted guardianship of Cameron, and we were able to take him home today too! Yahoo!!!!

We got to the courthouse in plenty of time - picked up by our driver (for the day) Vadeem, and at the courthouse we were joined by Oxana (interpreter), the babyhouse doctor, our attorney, and coordinator Natasha. We were shuffled from one little courtroom to a bigger one, and finally the judge arrived about 30-40 min late. Our travel partners went first, so Buff and I had to wait. We had to testify for about 30 min, and then the judge and prosecutors convened in chambers to decide and transcribe the whole thing, then return to the courtroom and give their decision.

To celebrate, we all went to the Restaurant in City Park, which was a nice place with good food. Then, (after our 2 hr. lunch) we went to the babyhouse and grabbed our boy.

We could not be happier for you. Take time to celebrate and enjoy. You are a family! Cam, we are so looking forward to meeting you, and that time will go faster for your parents, now that you are sharing all of that time together.

Congratulations DeWitt Family!!!! You are truly a family now with Cameron in tow. I am so very happy for you all. I can't wait to know you are on your way home. A few more weeks and you'll be home. Thinking about you all on this most blessed day!

HOOOOOOORAY!!!!! Our family has grown today and it is so wonderful! I hope he sleeps in in the morning for you and you get a somewhat gentle introduction to full time parenthood. We both are very excited and delighted! Love,
Dad and Marco

Welcome, Cameron! We loved hearing your voice today during that exciting phone call that let us know that you are now part of the family ( although we have known that since you stole our hearts two months ago)! We hope you all get a good night's rest and start your first full day as a family refreshed and invigorated. Love, Grandma B. and Len
