One star.....one month......waiting patiently
Well we have been waiting one month since our referral of our precious Joshua. He is already growing in our hearts. The answer to prayer you ask? We received an update today with two NEW pictures. He has gained 3.7 pounds since October 24th. Praise God! He is now a little over 12 pounds!
We are so happy to see his little, now chubby face! We are so sad at the same time...he is growing up without us. Please pray for a court date soon! We are so hopeful that we can go to Ethiopia in February to see him and stand in front of the judge. We cannot take him home at that point but he will legally be ours.
We received another update from Dove today talking about 4 weeks inbetween travel dates. I would be shocked if that were true. The last we were told was 8-10 weeks. If it is four weeks.....I might need to stay in country and take care of my little guy and bring him home after his US Embassy appointment. We will cross that bridge when we come to it. After all, why travel twice and pay for all of that airfare. :-) I am always up for an adventure. That, like all of this, is in God's hands, not mine. Thank Heavens!
Please continue to pray for our little Joshua, his caregivers, those that handle our paperwork and for a court date. Thanks for all of your prayers. It is making a difference in my son's life. Wow...that was the first time I remember saying that. :'-)
