A little over a week ago we got a phone call about the adoption that quickly changed things. After waiting 21 months, we got a referral for a 3-month-old boy! We spent some time praying through the referral and decided to move forward. Then we quickly went through the paperwork, so the case can move forward in Ethiopia. Please be in prayer that the case will move through the courts before they close for the rainy season. We don’t have much time before they close, so it would be great if God performed the miracle.
We also started to prepare things in Louisiana for him to come home. When adopting, it is hard to know what you are going to need until you know the age of the child. We are also raising money to help pay for the travel expenses, so we have sent letters to family and friends. I am excited to see how God provides for all the needs.
Sometimes, the process can be a little overwhelming but God reminded me that He is more than able to take care of all the needs. He is trustworthy and in control. I am so grateful for the continual reminder in Scripture of God’s desire to defend the fatherless. It is nice to know that God is taking care of him and protecting him through the process.
Please be in prayer for our family in the midst of this transition. Pray for God to protect and keep the little guy safe and healthy. Pray for a quick process through the courts and for God to provide for every need.
