news!!!!
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18
We are headed back. Paper pregnant. Waiting again!! We feel so blessed that the Lord has called us back to Ethiopia to add to our family. We have finished all of our Gladney paperwork, done the dossier and just sent our home study off to CIS. We are praying for our fingerprint appointment and approval to come quickly, but certainly trust in His perfect timing!
We are praying for the little boy (1-3) that is waiting for us in Ethiopia, praying the Lord is preparing all of our hearts as we become a family of 8. :)
(The weekend was wonderful, I'm waiting on some pictures to share about that.)
