On Tuesday, May 10th, we received some great news.
Natalie got the mail & found a nice surprise.
Our Show Hope Grant (which is the organization that Steven Curtis Chapman started) approved our grant for our adoption. She immediately texted me & I ran home to celebrate with her. We were so surprised!
God continues to bless.
Some have asked where we are in our process.
Right now we are waiting for a referral for a child.
We have to kind of guess at the time frame on this, so we are approx. at around 4-5 months before we receive a referral.
Once we get that referral, and accept it, the next step is to wait for a court date.
The court date is actually in Ethiopia. We will both travel over there, spend a few days, go to court, then head back home. After that, it will be another 2 months or so before traveling the second time to actually pick up our child.
We are very anxious, but know that we need to remain patient.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
