WE PASSED COURT !!!!! Now we wait for U.S. fingerprints on Feb. 8th, I know we're kinda backwards in this game. I'm posting pictures, Ethiopia says they're ours. Maybe we'll have to move to Africa to be their parents, not a bad idea!!!
I can finally release my heart into motion and know that these are my daughters and son. It's strange how it hits you, first -- you're not sure if you should let your heart go too deep because they may not be approved by court -- and then when it happens you're like, really?? really?? Is it really going to happen? Are we really going to bring them home? To live in our house with our "other" family? and are they really going to be our children? and how will this really work? Oh!! I hope it really works?! I start to feel this well of Love rise up in me, and I feel like I'm swimming in this river of Glory that's called Adoption. All I can see is that God's face is glowing with Grace, and I want all that I can get. I'll be needing that Grace in this river of Glory called Adoption. Yes, it's a bountiful river, but I'm not sure where it's going.
There are many turns and some rocks to contend with, but it's still His wonderful river, and life is not going to be the same as I swim in it.
Congratulations! Your children are beautiful in their traditional Ethiopian clothes. I hope it isn't long before you travel.
