August Update

Well, it's official we are finally a waiting family. Our dossier arrived in Ethiopia on July 26th. It was translated and registered during the following 20 days. August 15th was our official day. We don't have a whole lot to post right now because Ethiopian courts are closed and it's their election time. So that means all movement stops in the country for a while. Please pray that this process won't take long and we will receive our referral soon. Our agency says it can take anywhere from 2-6 months for a referral. I'm still holding on to hope that we may be able to travel before Christmas to see our little boy.

Some other good news is that we are very close to having our adoption fully funded. God is so GOOD! He has brought us so far. If you would like to help we are still selling puzzle pieces. They are $5 each. For every piece you buy your name will be written on the piece and we will display the finished puzzle in our sons room. You can donate through the link on the home page of our blog. All donations are tax deductible and go directly to our agency. I'm also selling my personalized towels from my Etsy shop to fund the remaining amount of the adoption. If you are interested please go to my shop and check out my towels. There is a sale going on now until Sept. 1st so stock up for Christmas! www.littlehousekids.etsy.com

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. They have meant the world to us. Oh, and if you have any adoption questions I would be happy to share what I know. I'm very passionate about adoption and love Ethiopia.
