There are 5 families in Ethiopia this week. They are excited about meeting their children for the first time and bringing them home. The Kidd Family, Cordell Family, West Family, Gardner Family, and Schaetz Family are all in Ethiopia. you can follow 4 of the family's blogs by clicking on their family name under America World Family Links. You will find this by scrolling down on the left side of the page. These families will be updating about their trip from Ethiopia. Please be praying for these families.

There are 3 families with court dates this week, on June 10th. The Gibson Family, The Raymer Family, and the Ord Family. Please pray for successful court dates for these families. So they can can schedule their travel to pick up their little ones.

There are seven families that are waiting for court dates to be scheduled. Wow, many great things are happening with America World. We are praying for many more referrals this week. Our family is in the top ten waiting for a referral. We are excited about hearing the news soon about our new addition to our family. We are feeling a little nervous about how long it could take to get a court date after our referral since the Ethiopian courts will be closing from August until October, for the rainy season. Please pray for many more referrals.

Please pray for all the children in Ethiopia and their families. Please pray for rain. There is a severe drought and because of that many power outages.

Thank you for stopping by to see us. Please leave us a message to say hello. We would love to hear from you. Thank you to all the family and friends who have supported us with prayers and by purchasing shirts, bags, and peppermint patties form us. Every contribution helps with the travel expenses of picking up our little one. If you are interested in our shirts or bags you can click on the link to the left. If you are local and are interested in peppermint patties please let me know.
Thank you and have a great week!

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

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
