Well where to start! It has been almost four months since we first saw the faces of the two boys who were referred to us for adoption from Ethiopia. Since then every month we have anxiously awaited the newest picture and information on how they have grown and what they have been doing.
Yesterday when I received the call from our caseworker I was so excited.... my first thought was "Yes, our documents have been sent to court!" Not God's plan!
Our caseworker informed us that one of our boys may not be available for adoption anymore, pending further investigation. It seems as if the father of the boys may have given miss-information to the orphanage and the boys actually may not be full brothers. They may have different mothers, one of which may still be alive. The authorities are investigating and we should know more in the next few weeks.
So we certainly would appreciate it if you would pray for "our" boys! We pray that if the mom is truly alive and wants her son that there would be a joy filled reunion, if not we pray that God would grant us our prayer and desire of our heart to bring these two boys home and to make them part of our family. We would also appreciate prayers for wisdom and discernment as we proceed and make decisions as facts and circumstances come to light.
I am so thankful for the steadfast love of the Lord that never fails, His mercies that are new every moment, and especially for the peace that passes all understanding as I trust in Him.
Thanks so much,
Teresa and all
