on our way to the top!
Just had an update today that we are now NUMBER 11 on the waiting list!! Just a few weeks ago, we were number 18. It was very encouraging news. Our children screamed with excitement. With the courts closing soon, we aren't sure how that may affect things for us. For now, we will celebrate that we are moving up quickly and be thankful for those seven families who have received referrals for their babies recently. :) That means less orphans in Ethiopia and that makes our hearts happy. Check out "bringing home lucy" in the blogs that I follow for a sweet story about a family's adoption. The mom just met their little Lucy yesterday and the pictures say it all!!

That's great news! Things are moving right along!
I clicked over to Lucy's blog and you are right the pictures do say it all.
One day soon we'll be looking at pictures of your family meeting your sweet little one!
YEA!!! That is awesome. She will be here before we know it!
So good to "meet" you guys! After reading your blog regarding your decision to adopt, I can tell you I had the same feelings/reservations/questions...but once we had a peace about it, God continued to pour on the "signs" to us as well. I still have some anxieties about the reality of it all, but I'm sure once I hold our precious boy in my arms and see his smile, all the worries will melt away. Looking forward to following your journey as well! (BTW: My husband also has a heart for medical missions sometime down the road.)
I dont mind at all if you use the name Adia.. it is a sweet name with a great meaning. It stood out to us above all others :)
