Waiting for news...

By -
Today is Tuesday, and we know that we have a court date this week. What we don't know is what day this week. This is a really difficult wait. We know that if we pass court that we will be traveling in 18 days! We will get to meet our son in person in 20 days! If the judge does not find favor in our case and does not pass us. Then we wait some more. It could be another month before we get another court date.

The hardest thing is not knowing God's timing. I think that I am ready, but it is not about my timing but God's timing. I pray that things go well and we can use the plane tickets that we have on hold. We have learned so much during this journey, and have made new friends.... Now we are just ready to travel with some of those friends meet our son. Please keep praying!

yesterday we found out that one of the little girls at the same Transition Home as Daniel passed away from Pneumonia. We are grieving with the Forrest Family who never got to meet their little princess. Please pray for this family as they go through this difficult time. Please pray for the health of all the little ones in orphanages and the Transition Home. Please pray for the people of Ethiopia. Thank you for your prayers and following our Journey to Ethiopia.

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

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
