It's two boys and a girl!

We feel much lighter as we have "given birth" to 3 new McClurg/ Fountain children today!!
Pavel Raymond McClurg
Maxim Allen McClurg
Alexandra Marie McClurg

It has been a great day! Court went well, our judge was very compassionate as well as everyone else involved in this decesion. She had many questions but all were about our ability to care for these children. Pavel and Maxim got to attend court and tell the judge how they feel about us and the adoption. They were very excited when it was announced that the adoption was approved. George took many pictures of everyone. There were hugs and congratulations from everyone in the court. We will be on our way home tomorrow and be home on Christmas day. We will post pictures on Sunday after we are home.

It is an odd feeling. We are happy to get home but not very happy about not bringing the children.

Love and miss you all, have a great holiday, and we will be in touch soon.

Congratulation to you both and to the children! They are receiving two fine parents. Continuing to pray for the speedy acquisition of the needed birth certificate and looking forward to the day we can all be together as family.

Please post the pics when you are able and I would really like to see you keep up this blog even after you are home to let us all know how the rest of the story is progressing.

We love you all!

Shawn and Sharon, this is truly a Miracle anything worth having is worth waiting for. These children are just as Blessed as you two are, being able to be patient and waiting for God to move in His own time. I have been praying and will continue to pray. Love you guys

Shawn and Sharon, God has shown Himself Strong again. The power of God is awesome, the way He works is beyond our comprehension. All He says is trust Him. See you guys on Christmas Day, this is a beautiful gift for you two. Uncle Mel
