Urgent Prayer Needed

Well, as this whole journey has been, we felt as if we were on a roller coaster again this week. Less than 1 week after receiving our referral we received news of a directive issued by the Ministry of Womens Affairs. Follow this link to read the entire article http://adoption.state.gov/news/ethiopia_alert.html

We are not sure of all of the implications, but it has the potential of extending the amount of time that we have to wait to bring our beautiful little girl home. Will you please join us in praying for a speedy court date and a quick homecoming.

Referral Day!!

One of the most pivotal day in the adoption journey is the day you receive a referral. This is the day that the adoption agency notifies you that they have selected a child for your family.

Well, this day has finally come for us!! A few days ago we received a phone call from our adoption agency informing us that they have matched us with a little girl in Ethiopia. We are so excited that we have finally been matched and know who our new daughter is and are one step closer to bringing "baby sister" home.

We are continually amazed at how God has orchestrated things to bring us to this point. God has taught us and continues to teach us such incredible lessons about who he is.

Please pray for us as we begin a new stage of waiting for our court date and travel times. Specifically pray for a speedy process in the courts and cheap airfare for both of our trips to Ethiopia.
