We have our Birth Certificate!!!! Isabella Faye's birth name is Silvia Maria.
There is now a beautiful legally forever binding document that says what our hearts have known all along: Silvia Maria Embry is the daughter of John and Beth Embry!
Our sweet Isabella Faye (Silvia Maria) will be home in 3-4 weeks.
As I type these words, all I can think of is the song Jesus Paid It All that was redone by Kristian Stanfill.
It has the original hymn:
I hear the Savior say
The strength indeed is small
child of weakness watch and pray
find in me thine all in all
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
and then he an added this tag:
Oh praise the One who bore my sin
and raised this life up from the dead!
Oh praise the One who bore my sin
and raised this life up from the dead!
The reason for everything, for all we ever celebrate is becuase Jesus paid it all and all to Him we do owe.
Jesus, all the glory and honor and praise for Isabella's homecoming goes to YOU! We are praising you all across this United States and in Guatemala for answering this prayer!
Please friends, pray for Isabella Faye's foster family and friends in these next days, as they prepare to say goodbye. These is no way for me to descride the love they have our Isabella. Pray for thier peace and strength and praise God for thier unconditional love and care of our sweet girl!

There are tears in my eyes as I read this post. I've known you'd be posting it, and yet seeing it, in writing, brings tears of joy to my eyes. Like you, I'm praising God for completing what He began.
Know that we will be faithfully praying for precious Nana and her family. I know that you will NEVER allow IF to forget the amazing women who have loved her with a very sacrificial love...her birth mother who loved her enough to make a very tough choice; her foster mom who loved her and cared for her and treated IF as her own until it was time to release that precious little girl into your care. IF is one blessed little lady to have some many courageous women as part of her heritage.
I long for that day you post you are PINK! Until then, know that the prayers of this friend will be with you, carrying you through as you stalk your email, hoping and praying for that final step to be completed.
Love you!!

Okay Beth, you have me crying too!!! PRAISE GOD...PRAISE HIM INDEED!!!!!! Like, Amy I too have longed to read these words on your blog. Not, much longer now friend until she indeed will be home. Oh, what a joyous homecoming it will be. Just so you know when that day comes you just might be seeing Joshua and I at the airport watching her arrival.
I will start praying now for your foster family. They like so many others have truly giving there lives and love to these children. Father God I ask that you please watch over Nana and her family. May they each find love and comfort in your arms during these next few weeks.
Praying you the rest of the way home.
