I tell you what, the last month has been a harder wait for me than the last 2 years. But, God has been so good to us. Last week, 2 days before Ethiopia passed the law requiring two trips for adoption, we found out that our paperwork was received in court before that took effect and we'd only need to make ONE trip. This was such a blessing. Today, we got a tentative travel date (July 8!), which is great news as well. We will know for sure about this date after May 26. Wow, this is all happening at once. I can't wait to show you pictures of our little guy. He's, in my opinion, pretty adorable. Once we pass court, we will be able to post some pics. I can tell you this, we've decided on the name Elijah. Elijah means "The Lord is my God". One rule though, no calling him Eli. We can't have an Eli and a Manning. Too weird. If you can't figure this one out, ask someone who likes football.
Ok, so until next time. Peace.
We are very excited for you guys! Can't wait to see pics of you with Elijah!
ReplyDeleteI saw your Orphan Lullaby video yesterday. It was so sweet!! We have a daughter that was born in China and are in the process of adopting from Korea. I would love to post it on our blog that we just started. minus1project.blogspot.com Thank you for such a beautiful song with such moving pictures, more importantly thank you for speaking up for those who have no voice and your obedience in taking care of the orphan. I know God's blessings will be on you and your journey! Kelly
