We made it back from Montana at 11:30 last night it was so beautiful there. We accomplished the things that we needed to and the kids had great times at their sleepovers. Thank you for the help from our neighbors, (four kids are a lot to divide out).

We just learned today that two families had successful court dates. The West family and the Cordell Family. Check out their blogs, there is a link to them on the left side of our blog. It is nice to see pictures of their new little ones. They should be traveling on June 7 to pick up their little ones.
Please pray for them and all the other families in the process of adoption. Please also pray for Africa as they are in a drought. The families there are really struggling and people are starving.

Yonas has helped numerous adoptees find their birth families, so we were excited to learn what he could find. We sent him all of the information we had and he started his work. In short time, he had located everyone. Tamenech's family is from Sidama, a territory in the southern part of the country. They live in traditional huts in a  vlllage with no running water or electricity. We knew Tamenech had grandparents and at least one sibling. Yonas reported after a visit that Tamenech's grandfather had passed, along with one brother. Her grandmother was still around, as well as a sister (who had just gotten married in an arranged marriage).  Daniel's mother had moved to Beirut shortly after he was born, whic...

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...
