We have been very excited these last few weeks after getting our referral of a little boy from Ethiopia! Thank you so very much for your prayers thus far and we are asking for continued prayers as there is still quite a journey yet ahead of us.
Currently, from our agency, we are receiving weekly photos and an update report including his weight, height, and general health.
As our agency policy has it, and for good reason, we are not allowed to put his information or photo on the internet or any social media sources for the protection of the child and respect for his privacy.
I'm sure you all understand but are still dying to see his precious little self!! I'll tell you one thing: he has brown eyes! LOL!
This week his health report was "good" and his photo was of him wearing a little girl's shirt. He did look like a beauty! The foster home isn't too particular about gender typing the clothing. If it fits, they wear it. :)
Please continue to pray for little Tarik as he is cared for in the foster home. Please pray for the special nannies who look after him, and continue to pray for his good health and growing stages.
The next steps are for us to receive documents from Ethiopia that are required by the U.S. that will let the U.S. start their investigations for a Visa pre-approval type process. We were told by our agency that we are waiting on one document from the Ethiopian version of the Child Services before our packet can be mailed to us. Please pray for this document as some families in the process that have gone before us have really had a hold up here lasting months and months. The sooner we get this packet, the sooner we can move it on to the U.S. hands, and the sooner a court date can be assigned, the sooner we can travel.....you get the idea. It's like a big stack of dominos right now and the first block needs to fall so the rest can fall too!
Thank you for your prayers!! Thank you for Praising the Lord and watching with us as this miracle unfolds!
