We witness a miracle each time a child enters a life
But those who must make their journey home across time and miles,
Growing in the hearts of those waiting to love them,
Are carried on the wings of destiny
And placed among us by God's own hands.

Exciting News


Hey everybody! We received some good news today. We are now number seven on the wait list or possibly even closer. Our agency director, Merrily, sent out an in process update today and said they gave out about 10 referrals in the last several days. These referrals of course mean not only infants; but siblings, older children, and special needs as well. One family posted the acceptance of a boy today and I can only imagine that there must have been a few more boys referred. This would mean we are actually closer than seven!!
She did post that they are still referring to those families whose dossiers were sent to Ethiopia in May of 2009 but the good news is that were are the first family in June!
Unfortuanately, some not so good news was also relayed. Troy and I will both be having to travel for the court hearing. Apparently, the judges in Ethiopia are standing firm on this. I guess on the bright side we will be able to meet our child several months earlier than we would have the previous way. I will most likely, however, be traveling over there twice. For being someone who absolutely hates flying this should be quite an experience!
We hope and pray that things continue to move swiftly.
