Praying for a wonderful week full of miracles.

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!

The primary reason we made this trip to Ethiopia was to have Daniel and Tamenech meet their birth families as well as learn the culture and history of their native countries. In order to start the process, we hired a gentleman who we've known for many years to find them. 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...

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 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...
