Christmas Package

Our kids received a package from their South Carolina grandparents.

The bubble wrap was a big hit.

Colton loved the snow globe. Here he is saying "WOW!"

Colton claimed the globe. This is him screaming "MINE".

He mustered up a little self control for the final photo.

No News Today

Our case was not heard today, but is scheduled to be heard tomorrow. We are not sure why, but we're hopeful everything will go through tomorrow. The other family that had court today did pass, which is encouraging.

Keep praying!!!

What Now?

Tonight, our case will go to court in Ethiopia. We've waited for this event since we started our journey over a year ago. Aside from actually going to meet our girls, this is probably the most important event in the process. We will officially be the legal parents of our daughters.

Please pray tonight that our court date will be successful and especially for the girls' mother who is required to be present in court for the hearing. She will permanently give away all rights to her children in a self-less act of love. I can't imagine her anguish. I pray that she will take comfort in knowing her daughters will be loved and well cared for.
