Thanks so much for all of the prayers and comments. Today was much better. Things still aren't completely taken care of, but this is a good start. We received a recommendation letter from a doctor here which we took to the Ministry of Women, Youth, and Children's Affairs in the hopes of hurrying along their letter to the court so that the judge will see us. After waiting for for the person in charge at the MOWYCA office, we were told that they would write the letter, but not until Monday.
This is good news, but will require us to change our flight to stay a few more days here in Ethiopia. Please continue to pray that the letter will actually be sent on Monday, that the judge will agree to see us, and that we will pass. Once all that happens,the children will officially be ours. We will need to return for our US Embassy appointment in a month or so, but that time we will be able to bring them both back with us. Thanks again for your continued prayers. We look forward to sharing pictures of our boys soon.
