We MIGHT be almost there!

It's been quite a long time since I updated here!  We had a long period of NOTHING happening, so there was nothing to post!  One year ago today we received a referral for a little boy we saw on the waiting child list a year before that.  We inquired about him then, but his referral had been picked up by someone else....  We prayed for him, thankful that he had found a family and continued waiting.  However, he stayed in my heart....  Fast forward to last year, March 15th.  We had a conference call to learn more about the ongoing delays and revisions to the process.  We had been asked to pray about changing countries a few months before, but we did not hear the Lord tell us to go.  We continued to believe that our children were somewhere in Ethiopia even though things were continuing to be slow and continuing to change in ways that did not seem like adoption from Ethiopia could be a possibility for our family.  That day, as I was listening to the conference call, I clicked on to the waiting child list to pray for kids while I listened... the little boy's photo listing was back and had just been added that day!  I quickly sent Chann a text, and we asked about him...  The next day we received his information...  Here we are one year later, and it looks like we MIGHT be almost there!  We have learned that our case file is in the very last stage before we receive a court date and travel plans!  Please join us in praying that our case is given a positive recommendation and that we receive our court date soon!  We long for this little guy to join our family, and we can't wait to tell you all about him!  As we wait on our travel date, we are preparing our support letter.  We still need to raise $15, 000-$20,000 depending on the number of trips we have to make and the amount of time we spend in country.  We should know those details soon.  If you would like to support our family with a donation, please click the donate link on this page.  Whether you can support us financially or not, we covet your prayers for the rest of the process to go smoothly, for the Lord to prepare this little guy to be in our family, and for continued preparations for us and our children.  Hopefully I will be able to update again soon!
