Good News and an Answered Prayer!

We received official news from Gladney today that MOWA has increased the number of adoptions they are processing daily back up to 40 per day! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, Ethiopian orphans waiting for families, and families waiting on their children to come home! We so appreciate all of the calls, emails, cards, text messages, and personal words of encouragement these last two weeks. We really coveted your prayers as while all of the adoption unknowns were happening, Isaac prepared to leave SuperMedia last Friday to start his career at Edward Jones as a Financial Advisor on April 4th (which we are SO excited about!), and I got bad news at my job that my hours will be cut down to part-time due to the loss of a major insurance contract as of May 1st-talk about stress-city at our house!!! It was so uplifting to know that we have such a large adoption support team and so many prayer partners in adoption and life in general. Isaac and I both ran into people we admire in our Christian community and haven't seen or spoken to in a while who both told us that they had been praying for us and who didn't even know what was going on with our adoption or Ethiopia or our careers...that really blew me away, to know that God had brought us to these prayer warriors' minds, and they were faithfully praying for us and our children and were anxious to know when we were going to have our babies home! But, don't stop praying!!!...we aren't there yet!...keep praying for a referral by July 11th (that's our unofficial due-date)!!!
