So the last two weeks have been a crazy world wind of activity! We signed and express mailed our acceptance paperwork to the International Coordinator of Bethany... that one Visa Application is HARD!! Sheesh... I think I messed it up like three time! She has already sent it to Ethiopia to be translated and she promised they would push really hard to get our paperwork submitted to Court before the closure... since no official date for the closure has been announced. We can not post pictures online of our little people so if you see us around and want to look, you likely will not even need to ask, but please do!
Many have asked "What next??"
1. We will wait to hear that our paperwork has been submitted to the Court
2. Then we will get a Court date... !!
3. Travel to Ethiopia for our first trip which will entail meeting the kiddos and attending a Court hearing
4. Travel Home without my babies... =(
5. Wait to hear that we passed Court and have a letter of recommendation from MOYA
6. Wait to be submitted to the United States Embassy for travel documents to bring the kids home..
7. Be invited back to Ethiopia for our Embassy appointment and to bring the kids home
We are hoping and praying that all of this will happen before the end of the year!
There is an ongoing drought crisis in Eastern Africa that has me on my knees in prayer for all the millions of people affected by this...please pray with us for the people there! We need to do something.. Ricky and I are in the processes of trying to find ways to help... we will be reaching out to you all when we have nailed something down and asking that you join with us... how can this not break your heart!
