New court date!

YEAH!! We finally heard from the Ethiopia courts and the cases that were not heard the last week of January were rescheduled for February , March and April. Some cases were made priority due to the child health, some babies that came in so malnourished that they need to get home!
So our new court date is March 26th!
While it seems crazy to explain that we have to wait 2 months because of an office move I am so happy that we did get a March date!
Please continue to pray for my boys and our family who is so anxious to start this new chapter in our life!

We are also dealing with my uncles illness. He was diagnosed with a teeny tiny spot of melanomia (sp?) 2 years ago. The spot was removed and we thought all was well. One year later he was acting "weird" we then found out he had a tumor in his brain. He began the battle with this right about 1 year ago. He has endured one year of radiation on a clinical trial. The tumors have mulitiplied and grown...he now has 18 tumors in his brain and 1 in his brain stem. He is now on a chemo pill. We found a new doctor who he is seeing today for new options to pursue. We are all very close and my children are truly why he has fought so hard already. I know Gods timing is perfect and I truly believe some of these court delays are working around the timing of his illness.

Hey there! We are hosting a blog prayer vigil tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/11. We’ve asked people to pray throughout the day and then specifically at 6:30pm PST. We’d love to have you join us. Please see our blog for more on this. We know God hears His people when they cry out to Him and we are hopeful that God will remove any and all obstacles that are keeping children from being united with their forever families.
