Court Date

We got a court date..... we got a court date.... we got a court date. YEEEE HAWWWWW!

Can you tell we are excited? Our court date is July 8th. What does this mean? Well, on July 8th the judge in Ethiopia will review our case to give us custody of 4 precious children. BUT, if all the paperwork is not to the judge he will postpone the case. The paperwork is a recommendation/ review from MOWA - Ministry of Womens Affairs in Ethiopia. If MOWA does not get their paperwork completed, it will delay us.

Prayers:
- MOWA paperwork to be to the judge by July 8th.
- For the judge to find the dossier and other paperwork in order and pass our case.
- Prepare the hearts of 4 precious African babies for a family in the USA
- For the kids to know our voices and to know us

Thanks for your prayers. It is getting closer and closer....
