PLEASE PRAY!!

Friends and Family,

we would covet your prayers this week!! Our boys case goes before the judge (again:) tonight as you are sleeping. PLEASE pray that we would PASS court for him!

We are also PRAYING that our girls case would be submitted to embassy on Wednesday January 25th. If we can get submitted to embassy, we could potentially come home mid February. If we do not get submitted to embassy this week, then it would not happen until January 31st. If this is the case, Adam will have to return home, and the girls and I will stay until we clear embassy. Once we clear embassy, Adam will return to ET to pick us up, and we will go home. This will probably be end of February or beginning of March.

I am LOVING this time that God has given us to attach with our girls. We have definitely made HUGE strides in getting to know them, their history, and attaching with them. But, we ALL REALLY want to get submitted to embassy this Wednesday, as we would LOVE to go home!!! London, Geneva, and Capri would love to go to "our real home" and Eyerusalem and Mahlet are SO excited to "go to America!" And Adam and I are ready to be home, and settling into a routine there.

Since we have all this "worry" on our plate the next couple of days (and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING we can do but sit and wait and worry some more:) we have decided to take a mini vaca:) We will be heading out of town tomorrow to Awash national park, to go on a safari!! We are SO excited that we have an opportunity to do this. And, we are really looking forward to showing Eyerusalem and Mahlet some of their home country, as they have never been outside of Addis Ababa.

Thank You all for your prayers and Support!!!
