Thank You, God!

God does work in miraculous ways. My husband and I were feeling down this morning as we realized that today was 1 month since we received our referral. We decided to call our consultant to see if she had heard any news about our court date. W were absolutely THRILLED when she told us that yes, she did have news......our court date is scheduled for Jan 30th! I can't tell you how excited and thankful we are!!!!! Our prayers were once again answered!

More Pictures!

We received some good news from our consultant this afternoon. Tensae was moved into ADERA, Addis Ababa so we won't have to travel outside the city to pick him up. We are VERY excited that he is in Addis Ababa! Hopefully we will now be able to get some more pictures of him from someone who is traveling in late December. Our consultant did send us two more pictures today. He is adorable! I can't wait to get my hands on him!!!



Now let's just pray for a court date....

I Finally Made a Blog!

My mom will be so thrilled that I finally set-up a blog! She has been asking me for weeks to get one started, but for whatever reason I just never did. I have loved reading all the other blogs so much, though, that I figured it's about time I make one for my own family!!



My husband, Scot, and I started the adoption process in April of 2007 and are now waiting for our court date for a soon-to-be 4 month old boy. We were VERY fortunate to receive a referral after only 5 weeks and are now VERY anxious to hear when our court date will be. Tensae (soon to be Luke) will be our first child and I can't tell you how eager we are to bring him home! Thoughts of him are starting to consume my mind. I had the sweetest dream about him last night. He was peacefully sleeping in my arms and I just held him and stared at his face for hours. It seemed so real......hopefully it will be more than just a dream soon. I always said that I wouldn't rock my babies to sleep. I didn't want to get them in the habit of needing that every night. Well, let's just say I don't feel that way anymore!!!! I can't wait to hold him in my arms each and every night!!!

Well, hopefully this will be the beginning of many posts. I know it doesn't compare to the blogs some of the AAI members have, but I'll do my best to get there!
