Leaving on a Jet Plane

There isn't much to say, except that we get to meet our son in just under 3 weeks!!! We got our court date today and found out we get to hold, kiss, hug and marvel at Baby B on April 18th! We can only imagine what that moment will feel like and we are so thankful that we don't have long to wait!
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27
We can't thank you enough for your prayers on behalf on Baby B! It has truly made a difference. We are still trying to figure out what is next and wrap our brains around the idea of finally getting to meet our son. But in the meantime we are praying about and strongly pursuing the possibility of staying in Ethiopian for the time between our first and second visit. So if you have any contacts in Ethiopia or know of organizations that could use some volunteers, we would love any and all thoughts/ contacts! And truly, truly, we could not have made it this far without all of you! Thank from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers!
