Prayers Please!!!

By -
We were given tentative travel dates early this month. In order to book our flights and make everything a go.... We need to pass court this week! We have a court date one day next week (we are not told the exact date), we are guessing it is the 16th. Please pray that all the paperwork will be in order and the judge will rule in our favor. If we pass court next week, we can book our airline tickets and POST PICTURES of Daniel. If we pass court we will be leaving to get our son in 23 days! If we don't pass it just makes the wait even longer, it not that we won't pass. It just means that the papers weren't quite right!

We want to say thank you for all the prayers that have gotten us this far in the process. Adoption is a long and emotional process. One that does not happen in our timing but in God's! We have learned a lot in this journey and have made some good friends. We are very grateful for this experience!

I would also like to say thank you for all the donations and gifts. We have been given so much stuff! Your support is very generous and much appreciated. We can't wait to introduce our son to you!

Please pray for the seven families that are in our tentative travel group, that have court dates next 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

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
