"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you" James 1:27

We continue to believe strongly in adoption - this blog serves to tell of our journey and encourages all who read it to learn of and love the journey of adoption!

A Quick Update

We have heard from the U.S. Embassy since our last post and so far, all of our paperwork continues to be approved and they move on to the next item on the list for their review.  The biggest part of that will happen this coming Tuesday morning at 7:30 Addis time, while most of us in the U.S. will be sleeping....and the work day in Addis Ababa will be up and running.   Would you please say some prayers Monday night and keep knockin' on Heaven's doors that this last step will go well and that we would get word very Quickly on Tuesday about the outcome? Once we get word about this, we should be able to very soon make our travel arrangements!  :-)  And, we are so very eager to do so!!  We are not sure we can even put into words how ready we are to jump on that plane and bring our little girl back home to her brothers and sisters and the many other people in her life who already love her!

And, while you pray for the Jansen Expansion, would you please pray for the other families who await news also?  We have met quite a few other adoptive families during this process and they are all just amazing people.  They too, have been living "in the wait" for a very long time and are eagerly awaiting the union of their families.  Pray too for all the orphans waiting to go home to these families and the many orphans who don't yet have families to go to.

Again, Thank you for everything!  We are blessed!
