Embassy

We heard on Friday the 15 that the embassy had requested 1 extra document regarding our case. Our agency was wonderful and took care of everything and got it back to them right away, the embassy said the info was sufficient and they would be processing our case very soon. So now we wait, we are praying to hear any day now that we have been cleared to travel to bring our precious girl home for good. From what we know of embassy dates it looks like ours could possibly be on Monday the 25, so we have plane tickets on hold for leaving Ft Wayne on Friday the 22, and returning on Friday the 29, Lord willing of course. Please continue to pray, that the embassy will sign off on our case and that all the details for travel will fall into place. We are still seeking the Lord to provide the last $10,000. This has been an amazing journey and I am so thankful to the Lord for the things He HAS and IS teaching us through this entire process. We can truly look back and see the Lords hand every step of the way.

Adia says "dada"

Introducing.....ADIA MILLER!

I have so much to post about our amazing time in Ethiopia, but for now I will show you some pictures of our precious girl. On March 11, 2011 the Judge declared Adia "ours" :-)

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.

4 DAYS!!

Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families.

Psalms 68:5-6

Court Date

4 weeks from today, ( well actually the 10th is almost over in Ethiopia ) we will be standing before the judge asking him to finalize Adia's adoption. Please join us in prying now, and in the next weeks that all the papers and people will be in the right places, so that the adoption can be final that day. We have friends in Ethiopia now whose case is looking like it might be postponed for the 3rd time, they have been waiting over a month. We do not want these delays, if we do not pass court they may postpone it for 3-5 weeks, then her Visa appointment will be another 4-8 weeks beyond that. Pleas pray with is that God would go before us and prepare they way, Pray for peace for Nathan & I, no matter what the outcome. We know that God's timing is perfect, but our hearts are longing to get this precious baby into our loving arms the sooner the better.

Tickets!

We have tickets to Ethiopia. I can hardly believe it, I am so excited and feel very overwhelmed at the same time. Now to start collecting things/supplies for the orphanage. Let the count down begin 42 days :-)
