Ethiopian adoption referral

God is so good. My heart is full of Peace and it is beginning to swell with love for our Little Beauty, who must remain nameless until she is in our arms. So hard, as we'd love to share pictures and the details of how God even confirmed that she was for us, by her name and a bible verse that was given to me in July. Can't wait to open that with you later, will you wait with me? Our God does direct the path (clearly) for His children. I do know the Peace that passes understanding, Oh Lord, how grateful I am!

I am so thankful to have each of you to walk with, in this adoption. Thank you for taking the time to bless me with a comment, truly it has been a special part of this adoption for my family. I am so glad that God has opened up this unusual way to make friends and get to know my family.

I won't be able to share pictures, yet but here are some of the details we know. She has huge beautiful dark eyes, she is beginning to babble, she is currently 6 months old and 13 lbs and a very healthy little girl. Thank you Anna for asking, your words about loving her, truly began allowing me to do just that...thank you my sweet friend. Your words were a balm to my heart Anna.

Our timeline should be 30 to 90 days. We need to have all our papers out by Monday and then All God's Children International will check them and send them off to Ethiopia. We will need to get through court there and then will get the white flag to jump on a plane. My Knight and I will fly (still not sure if we can afford to bring Princess Sunshine) -for a total of 5 days. We will come home with our new bundle of joy.

Please, please pray for favor with the court...that every 'i' is dotted and nothing is found to be wrong or lacking in the needed paperwork. My heart wants it to be quick, this wait has been so long. (I hear some of you saying amen...and ...'isn't it like 3 1/2 years ago that you signed up with this agency?')

Our plans are not always God's plans, His ways are so much higher.
