It's a girl!

Court was great, the judge was very friendly and so was the prosecuter. She officially granted our adoption petition and renamed our daughter Keira Dayana Jenkins. There is a fifteen day waiting period for us to change our mind (yeah, right!). After that it takes a few days to process her paperwork, so we should be able to return to bring her home some time in late January. God is good!!
