Another Step Closer

We received home study approval from DCFS!  Now we can send our dossier in to our Ethiopia agency!!!  Usually the approval takes 4 to 6 weeks.  It took ours 2 weeks!  Thank you, Lord, for your favor!  One step closer.   Our dossier is basically ready to go and will be mailed off this next week.   

Our friends are in Ethiopia as I write this, seeing their daughter in person for the first time.  It's one of those times when I wish I could be there, with them, to experience those rare, sacred moments in life when God gifts a family with a child.   It's one of those years.  Sweet babies will be born and little children will come home, finally.   We are so blessed, so excited to experience this journey... and we are not alone.  We get to walk with our family and friends on their journeys of new life too.
