Seems so far away. It really seems like the dead of winter (I know it is not). It is a special day. My Father-In-Law's birthday. It is now even more special... It is our court date for our little boy. A date. A concrete date that shows movement. Getting him closer to being in our family. I have gotten some darling pictures of him. He is simply a sweet child. It is also perfectly clear in the photos that his heart will be broken when he has to leave the beautiful orphanage director! Ohhh goodness. I know that he is getting the best of care and love. Would you mind praying for his little heart?
On a lighter note...we had our travel clinic appointment. Jason-one shot. Me-none. Zach-none.
77 days until we hop a plane and see our sweet boy.
For this child I have prayed. 1 Samuel 1:27

About Me
- Jen
- Massachusettes
- I feel like the most blessed mom and wife in the world. I have four great kids, 19, 16, 12 and 4 who are just the right combination of fun and naugthy. Our youngest was adopted from Ethiopia in 2009. We are in the process of adopting again. We used Gladney the first time, and loved them. We are using YWAM/CHI and I could not love them more. I love everything that they stand for. I love how they minister to the orphans and the families adopting. Before we adopted we were the soft landing place for 6 newborns until the adults in their world figured out a plan for them. It has been an amazing faith journey. Can't wait to see Him reveal HIs plan for us.

Yay! So happy for you. Last year, our court date was scheduled pretty far out, too. Those weeks flew right by and before I knew it, we were there. Oh the memories! Praying for all of you as you head into the final stretch - especially your sweet boy. :)
A date! That's awesome!
And Jennifer J, I was thinking the same thought - we received a late November court date in August and it felt so far away... then it got changed to late October and suddenly it was SOON and I was running around getting ready.
May the days pass quickly with many blessings until you hold him in your arms...
SOOOO excited for you!!! I'm praying these days go fast...and before you know it he'll be in your arms :)
Blessings!

congratulations! We have been your son's "prayer warrior" family for the last year. We are SOOO excited he will be going home soon. :)
77 Days! Oh wow. I am so excited for you. I hope that somehow the days fly by and you find yourself back in Ethiopia laying eyes on your precious boy!
