One MORE WEEK??

I know I haven't posted in awhile...I'm sure you all have been 

WONDERING

 what on earth is going on! :)

Until yesterday there was no news...

Now the NEWS is...

the US Embassy wants to interview our birth father

next Tuesday.

After that we will hear if we are 

CLEARED 

for travel or they need something else.

Please pray for our birth father. He will have to travel a long distance once again and I can't imagine

how his heart must feel.

We sent more care packages with a gal who was visiting her daughter in Ethiopia.

She sent pics of our kids opening them and looking through the pictures I sent  of them and us.

They already look older and bigger.

The baby is walking.

Looking at a picture of him and I together! Yes, he is standing on the table!

These are our August update pictures: Taken in the schoolroom.

We learned the word 

COY

 in Ethiopia 

(that is not how you spell it!)

It means

WAIT

I think the word ADOPTION is synonymous 

with WAIT.

Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.

Psalm 27:14

And it's okay because we KNOW God has HIS children in HIS hands and He can see the beginning from the end. 

HE knows when WE are READY and when our children in Ethiopia are ready.

Besides we still have to get the toilet out of the tub and put it back where it belongs! :)

While you are WAITING with us

here is an HONEST post from a gal we met in Ethiopia who was there with her husband picking up one of their children. She writes about LIFE 

"AFTER THE AIRPORT"

I am sure after you read it you will want to pray for us even more!

Love,

Tracy
