Today we got some paper work for the adoption authenticated in Raleigh, our state capitol.  And then got our finally completed dossier in the mail.  Wow!  A ton of paper work finished!  A major bridge crossed!!!

Upon the completion, YWAM Adoption ministry gave us access to a portal we can login to see the children available for adoption from the YWAM Ethiopia orphanages.  Wow!   So many precious little lives.  Feeling like we are connecting with all of them!  We love all of them.  Love at first sight.  Such joy!  Problem is, they are not all ours, but we most likely have already seen and read about the child who will be our family - we just don't know which child it is at this point.

Its so hard to decide, and we're going to need your prayers as we process through the excitement and emotions of our new family unit.  This was such a huge surprise to be able to see each of these little lives that God has gifted with different families.  We really want to get God's heart on this, and to hear from him about which little life he wants to add into our family unit, into our family's future and life choices.  He has a child that is the fit for us and for them, that will be served by us perfectly to through which God will affect Eileen and I for his purposes.

We're so elated!  Can't believe these types of things are happening already.

Much thanks to Jessica, Joy, and Becky who've been helping us through this process, answering questions, meeting our needs, encouraging us, and praying for us.  We have been so ministered to through you!
