In 16 Days...

In 16 days our sweet little baby will be ours!  We are praying that all the paperwork is in order and that we'll pass court the first time.  Sometimes people don't pass court because paperwork is missing from the file.  Court takes place in Ethiopia, and at this point it looks like we will not have to travel for the court date.  If we pass court, we will travel to get her in about 4 to 6 weeks from April 7th.   We are grateful to the Lord for caring about every detail of this adoption, each milestone precious and celebrated.  After we pass court, we can post pictures of her online, but not until then.  I can't wait to show everyone her beautiful face!!!  We received pictures yesterday from a family who recently traveled to the care center in Mekele.  Our care package we sent sits propped up above our baby's head, and she's sound asleep, oblivious to her visitors.   I cherish  these pictures, and we are forever grateful to the families who go before us and take over our care packages, love on our baby, and take pictures for us.

This last weekend, our dear friends added this sweet little one to their family:

Newborns are nothing short of a miracle.  We are so happy for them.  He's perfect, so tiny, so new.  So loved.  What blessed little guy!
