2 months DTE

We have now been waiting two months since we submitted our Dossier to Ethiopia...we are 4th in line for siblings and tied in 9th for a boy. Our prayer is for siblings but if they are not available we would except 2 unrelated children, one would most likely come from the WCL( older children 5 and up) While we wait we continue to pray for the remaining funds that are needed especially now... we are now required to travel to Ethiopia twice. Once to meet our children and to go to court and then 8-12 weeks later we travel again to go bring them home. We have already been on this journey for over 10 months..boy things can change!! Wined back a year and a half and I probably wouldve said you are crazy if you wouldve told me where I would be now! We went from "talking" about our future children to adopting TWO!!! And for the first time in my life I went on a mission trip.....with all complete strangers(except for my sister)!!!! It was the best experience ever and completly life changing! I pray that I will be able to go again and bring my husband and my oldest daughter! I know mission trips will be a very real part of my future! I am so blessed to be able to have my eyes opened... I only wish everyone could experience Gods love in such a way...
