Christmas came a little early at our house this year. This week, we received word that the approvals that we have been waiting for (FOR OVER A YEAR) have finally come through. Praise God! We know this is a direct result of the prayers of so many of you!
So what does this mean?
"K" received the final approval from MOWA that we needed to receive a court date in Ethiopia. Tomorrow our agency will have the assigned date (usually 2-4 weeks later) and then we travel to Ethiopia to appear in court and bring him home. We could travel as soon as next week! Eeeekkkkk!!
"D" received an important approval (regional approval) that we also needed to move on to the next step in the process. This was huge!! We are likely a year from bringing him home still, but happy to see that there is some movement.
We are beyond thrilled to finally be in the final stages of bringing "K" home. As soon as we pass court we can tell you his real name and post pictures. Please pray for him as his life is about to change in a big way and we know from past adoptions that these transitions are difficult. We also ask for prayers for good health and safe travel as we will be taking Solomon and Joseph along too!
If you don't hear from us in the coming weeks, it is because we are frantically packing and preparing for our adventure. Hopefully the next post will be from Ethiopia!
Until they are home,
Dana and Jack
