Answering Heaven

September 12, 2016

We e-mailed Heaven today and gave our answer... an emphatic YES to adopting L.  As always, God's timing is perfect.  We were under contract to buy a 5-acre lot in Sedalia and start the massive undertaking of building a house.  We had one more week to decide and were praying hard for direction.  God gave His answer just in time.  Instead of focusing on building a house, our focus has shifted to building our family.  We are so excited to bring you home, little L.

Now begins another paperwork push.  Reviewing and signing referral acceptance documents. Submitting our I-600 form to start the PAIR process with the U.S. government.  Putting finishing touches on our dossier-- lots of notaries and small details.  Sending off our dossier to be translated into Amharic.  

But now the paperwork seems so much more meaningful because we have a picture of a beautiful face to motivate us.  So many times a day we look at those few priceless photos on our phones.  Photos of our son.  OUR son.
