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

Reunions (Tom)

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
