Talking Across the Miles

Several of us talked to our precious older son in Ethiopia this morning. He was wrapping up his Saturday after playing soccer and we were beginning our day, anxious to hear all about his. His voice is so cute and he has great English. He is polite and sweet. Connecting by phone makes this momma's heart long for my son all the more. On this upcoming Mother's Day, I can think of nothing more than getting my boys in a distant land home to our family. Brooklyn loved talking to her brother!

We have completed the first step of our adoption process and now are praying as we complete the next. With our initial paperwork, we will need $2500 and then our homestudy will be around $1000. We know that God never call us to something that He doesn't equip us to do. We have full confidence in His provision. Thank you for praying for us as we travel this road. Time is of the essence for our older son at his age. We need God to move this process quickly to get him home. We covet your prayers as we journey to our sons. Here is a list of prayer needs at this stage in the adoption. * Protection for our sons in Ethiopia. * Financial provision for us as we take each step of this process. * Possible grants to come available to us. * Provision for a 12-passenger van. (Yes, we have officially graduated to the large family vehicle!) * Miraculous movement of paperwork in Ethiopia. * Favor for our homestudy. * Prayer for some quiet, private miracles we are asking God for. We love you all and so appreciate your hearts to pray us through this process to bring our boys home. They need their family and we need them.
