I'm still here!!

I know that I haven't been updating this blog lately but I really don't have much to update regarding the adoption process. We have not started to update our home study. We are praying about the timing and details of that. We also knew that we couldn't pass a home study without one of us having a full time job. He he. Anyway, I have a job now so that's a huge blessing! You can read about the details of that on our other blog called Empezar de Nuevo (That's Spanish for Begin Again). It's about our call to move to Texas.

We are still unsure about all that is happening in Ethiopia right now. Our agency has been updating us as much as possible. We do now that right now the courts are closed there. Every year they close for a season of time, until about October, I think. They are closed for the rainy season/vacation. Also, as of last week, several orphanages including one that our agency worked with, in the Southern part of Ethiopia were shut down. This has caused many delays and heartaches for families that had already received a referral for a child from that region. They are not going to continue their cases without further investigation. I can't imagine what that must be like. I do know that God is working there and that He is good.

We don't know how all of this could affect our adoption process but honestly we are just settling into our new home here and thankful for a job, for a new church, and preparing for ALL 3 of us to start school again. We know that God has called us to adopt and we are still hopeful for the little girl that He plans to place in our family.
