This is a day of rejoicing in our house! Our prayers - and yours - have been answered! We are VERY excited to announce that earlier today we accepted referrals for a 3 year-old boy and a 5 month-old girl. They are beautiful! It is so awesome to finally see the faces of the children God placed on our hearts. We are so thankful to God for hearing and answering our prayers to move us a giant step closer to bringing our children home soon.
The next step is getting an appointment with the Ethiopian courts to have the kids officially declared our children. Our agency staff is working diligently to make this happen before the courts close there for the rainy season, which lasts around two months and usually starts sometimes in August. Hopefully we will be making our first trip for the court appearance at the beginning of August, then return 5-6 weeks later for our U.S. Embassy appointment and to bring our children home. Please pray that all the details work out so this is possible. Please also continue to pray for the health and care of the kids.
We cannot post pictures of the kids until we pass court, but if you see us we will be more than happy to show them to you. We will keep you updated as we get more information. Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers!
Praise God! Those children have no idea what blessings are in store!! Nor do you!! :-)
