After nearly 3 years of being in this adoption process to bring our little boy home, 45 weeks of pictures, ups and downs, pleading prayers, praises, miracles, and sharing our hearts for the orphan care to anyone we meet, we are finally getting to the last STEP!!!
Our adoption case goes before the Ethiopian court prior to our arrival in Ethiopia. At the court date, which was held on May 29th, there was a request for more information. Yes, updated paperwork. Thankfully, and truly grateful that the paper has been resubmitted to the courts!! Now we wait. Nothing new there right? Well, we wait for ONE signature, ONE final approval before we get THE CALL to travel and meet our son!!!
At this point we are packing our bags, and on pins in needles awaiting a phone call that could give us approximately 10-15 days notice before we are to be present in the courts in Ethiopia!!
PLEASE be praying as we are up against a deadline. The ONE person who needs to sign our document is not 'in the office' next week. The courts will close in August through early October for the rainy season. We deeply desire and pray that it is God's will, that we are able to get through the system and arrive to our court appointment BEFORE the courts close!!
Our little fellow will turn 2 near September. We have missed so much of his early days growing up and we long to have him home! Look how he has grown! Our hearts are excited and our hearts ache for THE CALL to come!!
At this time, as we wait in the final stage, please be in prayer for our journey! We are praying for the timing of our court date to be prior to the court closure. We are praying for Tarik's little emotions as he is about to go through a tremendous change in his life. We are praying for our family as the emotions, chemistry, and a big adjustment phase is about to begin. We are praying for travel mercies, safety, and health. Please join us as we bring these requests before our LORD! So grateful for the GLORIOUS UNFOLDING of His story in our lives!!
