With Thanksgiving in our Hearts

As we reflected today on our blessings this Thanksgiving, it seems that our list is much longer than last year. We are so blessed! Do we have everything we want - No. Is that okay? YES, it sure is!! We have clean water, enough food to have leftovers some nights, medical care & insurance, a roof over our heads, good schools and so much more! As we continue to learn more about Ethiopia, our hearts break for the needs of most people there. The feast we enjoyed today seemed almost wrong in relation to the needs of so many around the world. Please continue to join us in prayer......that next Thanksgiving our child will be home with us enjoying a feast like they've never imagined. Please also continue to pray for the country of Ethiopia, especially its children. Thank you!

USCIS

We are excited to share that the package we sent out yesterday has been rec'd at the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) and that hopefully, very soon they will process our "Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition". One more step to bringing our child to their Forever Home. Praise God!

Next.....checking off the 27 items needed for our International Dossier. :-) Please pray that all of this paperwork comes together without any complications in the next few weeks or so. Thank you!
