Still Waiting.....



Fun in the snow after posing for a Christmas picture.

Faith~12, Blake~10, Bryce~6
We are still waiting for a referral. To pass the time Wade and I finished our 24 hours of credit needed to adopt after completing our last 7 hours of class today, YEAH!! We are #1 on the waiting list and we are happy to continue waiting on God and his timing for our referral. He knows where are kids are and the right timing for us so we will continue to wait and pray.
We are busy getting ready for Christmas along with the rest of you! Next Friday we leave for Iowa already. We are all so excited to see our family and to spend a week with them over Christmas.
Continue to check our blog, hopefully I will be able to add exciting news soon regarding a referral. After Wade and I accept a referral we will wait 3-4 more months to allow the adoption to be complete and to get through the Ethiopian courts. Then we will finally travel to Ethiopia to bring home the two little ones!! If you think of it, please continue to pray for God's hand to be in our journey. God's blessings to you this Christmas season!
Merry Christmas!! The Donels

Hi,

I added your blog to the IAN family blog.
For some reason a few blogs addresses will not allow the, Most Recent Post feature. Yours is one of those, but it has been added :)
