IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. - Isaiah 43:5

We went to committee this morning on a 2 1/2 old waiting child and I just got the big call.  He's ours!!!!  We knew that he was from the moment we saw him.  He was an answer to some very specific prayers.  Oh my goodness, this is surreal!!!  We can't post his name or picture, in accordance with the wishes of the Ethiopian government.  But, let me tell you, he's a CUTIE!!

Now we continue the process as we've been except that I feel frantic because Little E is just waiting for his Mommy and Daddy to finish this paperwork so that we can bring him home.  The big things left for our dossier are the medical appointments and the homestudy.  We've got our final HS meeting a week from tomorrow, but our social worker needs medical notes from the doctor for all six of us and the appointments stretch through the end of May.  The dr.'s office has our file flagged in case of cancellations.

So, specific prayer requests for our family: 

• Health, happiness, and safety for E as he waits for us
• Doctors appointments to be moved up
• CYFD fingerprints to be quick and readable the first time
• Financial blessings to overflow to cover the rest of our expenses

Me talking to Jessica!!!

KJ, Cade, and me talking to Justin on speakerphone to tell him that we got THE call!!!
