Referral!!

Wade and I at the computer at the hotel, getting the referral pictures.

Wade, Todd (Wade's brother), and the kids after getting the referral at the pool. We called them over to give then the EXCITING NEWS!!

We were in Mexico this past week with the kids for Spring Break and we got our referral. Wade and I were sitting together by the pool watching the kids. Wade had his phone right on his lap and we saw the call come in and I said that's the agency. We took the call and Aneata had the referral for us, Praise God!! Our referral was for a little girl age 5 and a little boy age 2.5. They are not siblings and they are both adorable. He seems to be healthy from what little information that we have received. We are still checking on a blood test that came back for that we are concerned about. She was taken to the clinic again this week to re-test her and we are anxiously waiting for the test results. We have not officially accepted the referral yet, but our hearts are already completely won over. Please pray for her. We pray that she is healthy and if not that we will be able to help her to get the care that she needs quickly.

At this point we need to be very vague about the info. that we put on the blog. Ethiopian laws do not allow us to share details and post photos at this point. I know you are dying to see photos but we cannot post photos until the kids pass court and are officially ours. We will keep you updated. Thanks for all of your continued prayers, emails, and calls.
