We are excited to say that the West Family had a successful court day yesterday. Check out their blog to see the latest info and pictures of their son. Congratulations West Family. Scroll down and on the left you will see a list of names of other families adopting from AWAA and click on the West Family.

We are sorry to say that all the paperwork needed for the Kidd Family was not present for their court date. They are rescheduled for the fourth time next week. We continue to pray for their family. There have been a lot of power outages in Ethiopia, which is making it hard for the paperwork to be faxed, emailed,etc. This is causing a slowdown with referrals, court dates, and communication in general.

Please pray for these families and those waiting for referrals. Please pray for the people of Ethiopia and the struggles that they face daily.
Thank you for following our journey and for your prayers.

When you stop in to read the latest, please make sure click on the comments and leave us a message to tell us hi.

Today at 4:25 the call came.... It is 4:25 I was sitting out by the pool just getting ready to get in. The neighbor had just left and my kids were swimming. I sit on the edge to slide in and just then the phone rings. I think I will see who it is, but I am not going to answer it. It says 703.... oh my I think that is America World, I start crying. I answer the phone and it is Terra she asked me how I was, I ask is this "the call" she says yes... I am yelling at the kids get out of the pool, on the deck, no off the deck, close up the pool, it's "the call" I am just crying and going crazy! The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som

Day Four (tomorrow we go home)

Hello again. It is Thursday night! We went to Kids Care Orphanage today. That is where Daniel lived from March 31st until June 10th. It was really sad to see all the kids there that do not have families waiting to pick them up. We got some great videos of the older kids in their school singing the ABC's and singing in Amharic. We passed out granola bars and dum dums. We also took some playground balls. When we took Daniel into the home and told the nannies, that we had Fitsum, they just went crazy. They were so excited to see him. They held him and kissed him, and spent time talking to him. One of them talked to him in Amharic and Robel our guide translated it for us on video. There were rooms of healthy children, rooms of sick kids, rooms of toddlers, and the school house of about 30 kids. The kids just couldn't get enough attention from us. I went around the school house and the toddler room and got down to their level and hugged every one of them. It was all I could do to no
