The journey continues.....there is potential for some big happenings tomorrow with the Adoption situation with Ethiopia and all families involved could use some BIG prayers ALL day long....
*There are 4 adoptive Momma's in process of Ethiopian adoptions spending the day tomorrow in Washington D.C. They have scheduled meetings with 7 Senators and 2 Representatives. Some of those they are meeting with are on the Foreign Affairs Committee or Adoption Council. These meetings start at 10 a.m. and the last one starts at 4 p.m. At each of these meetings they will be leaving a "one sheet" from all families that sent them one (Yes. You know we did!) These "one sheets" have pictures of our families and information about our adoption process/status. I believe these amazing Momma's will also have extra copies available for impromptu meetings they hope to have with other politicians that they might run into.
*There is also a phone call scheduled at 2 p.m. tomorrow that Senator Blunt (MO) said he is participating in specifically about the Ethiopian Adoption situation. In addition to your prayers, we'd ask you to CALL YOUR SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE MONDAY MORNING AND ASK THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PHONE CALL with Senator Blunt - or to at least call his office for more information. Thank you!!
*We do have a Huge PRAISE from this past week. A few years ago, the Democratic Republic of Congo had a similar situation with all of their adoptions. The parents of DRC parents heard about the Ethiopian situation and started to reach out. They have been a wealth of support, encouragement, contacts and ideas on how to navigate this process. The meetings and "one sheets" for tomorrow mainly come from their wealth of knowledge. What an amazing part of the details that God has worked out!
Please spend a few minutes out of your Monday and PRAY BIG for our boy (feel free to set your cell phone for 12:24 and pray for him everyday).
PRAY BIG for the government officials involved in the U.S. and in Ethiopia. Pray for soft hearts with a passion for children to be loved and in families.
PRAY BIG for all of the parents on this journey....it is hard to explain how we can all love kiddos we haven't meant, but God does that in our hearts and it's an amazing, beautiful, miraculous thing. And, when we parents love Big, the heartache and worry is big right now too.
Thank you!!
