Adoption News

Our paperwork is now in Ethiopia and being reviewed by the Ethiopian government. I am very excited that everything made it and we are one step closer in this journey. Now we wait and probably won't hear anything until we get a referral, which is a match with an infant girl. Our adoption agent can't give us any time frame as things are always changing, but I am hoping that in 6 months we know who our daughter is. After receiving her picture and information we will still have to wait about 3 months before traveling to get her. Patience is going to be so much tougher the closer we get.

SO excited for you all! This is a big step in the process. It is all out of your hands now. How wonderful it is to know that you can trust the Lord to guide the officials to match you with the child He has appointed for you and your family!

Keep us posted!

prayerfully the ball will continue to roll smoothly.

i know that it will be hard to wait, but God has a purpose for everything, and even if you never see it...He has plans for this time.
