We Got It!

We have finally received our referral. Our son was born October 17, 2009 and is currently waiting for us at the House of Hope transition center. He is a beautiful 6 week old baby. He appears to be healthy and although he is small, he is not considered malnourished. We have a picture, but we cannot post it until after we pass court in 6-8 weeks (hopefully sooner). If you see one of us, we will have photos with us and we are not afraid to show them off.

Kim and I are so thankful for all of you who have been praying for us and encouraging us on this journey so far. Things to pray for now are a quick and smooth court date, his physical and emotional health, our finances and our trip to Ethiopia.

We know a little bit about his background. His father has passed away, and his mother was not able to care for him due to poverty. He has no biological siblings, and he was placed in an orphanage at 4 weeks old. Thankfully, he has already been moved to the House of Hope transition center where he will receive proper nutrition and medical attention.
