We have very good news!  

We got an email that the Embassy in Ethiopia is ready for our interview.  The Embassy told us to pick three dates that would work for our family (M-Th) and we emailed back this morning with the 22^nd, 23^rd, or 24^th.  We will not hear back from the Embassy until early next week if these dates work with their schedule due to it being the weekend.  Our adoption consultant told us that usually the Embassy goes with the family’s first choice 95% of the time.  By faith we purchased flight tickets for Friday, May 18^th hoping that the Embassy will agree with one of our choices.  We chose to buy our tickets before waiting until next week to confirm our date due to rising costs in airfare.  We plan to be home by Saturday the 26^th. 

We ask for prayers that Julie's fingerprints which will be taken on Monday the 14^th will be approved and processed and cabled to Ethiopia before our appt. at the Embassy.  We also ask for prayers for safety, uneventful travel, good health, energy, joy for the girls at home, and good transitions with the twins. 

Time to bring the twins home! 

Time to get packing!

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. ² Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." ³ The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. (Psa 126:1-3)
