REFERRAL news!

Congratulations! It's a GIRL!

We received our long awaited referral for our precious daughter on Friday. She is a beautiful one month old baby, and we cannot wait to get our hands on her and love her all up!

The other good news which accompanied the referral was that we may still be able to get into the Ethiopian court system before the two-trip rule is officially implemented, which means we may only be required to make ONE trip. As I previously posted, there are pros and cons of each, but we would really prefer to only have to make one trip. At this time we're estimating our travel plans to take place in July, and YES, we would bring her home with us at that time.

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and prayers. Please continue to pray for Baby Sister as she's in Ethiopia waiting for our arrival. Pray for her peace, contentment and bonding with those currently caring for her. Please pray for patience for us as we continue to wait through the next steps of this transition. We will be sure to keep you all posted.
