After a month and a half and I still can’t stop staring. We have such a massive love for someone that we have never met or seen video of, just pictures. I have seen pictures of several precious kids, but the feelings that we have for Silas are indescribable! It has made me start to think of God’s love for us. God knows everything about me, every thought, EVERYTHING, but to understand His love for me is unreal. I feel like through the adoption process He has been so gracious to give us a glimpse into how much He loves us.
Throughout the adoption process He has been so faithful to listen and answer prayers in His perfect timing. We feel that he has challenged us though to start praying more specific than general. There have been so many times that he has answered our prayers with what seemed the bare minimum, or at the last minute, but it was exactly what we prayed for in our general prayer. Please specifically pray with us that we receive a quick court date, not only that but that it is our only court date. For that to happen all of our paperwork in Ethiopia must be in order and Silas’ birthfather must show up for court. He lives 9 or 10 hours away and is a farmer. Please pray for him to show up/for transportation. We are not legally able to assist him in getting to Addis. We had really wanted Silas home for his 1st birthday at the end of November, but realize that it is unrealistic. We are praying that he is home by Christmas!

The waiting is really hard but you are right - He just continually reveals more and more of Himself to us through the process! We certainly pray that we pass on the 21st (our 4th attempt) and will tell Silas you guys are coming as fast as you can. :)
I think that waiting for a court date is the hardest time (so far!) during this wait. We, too, are praying for a quick court date and that we'd pass the first time. We'll include you and yours in that prayer too.

Praying for quick and successful court dates for you all!
Hi there. We are leaving for Ethiopia on the 7th of November (through Gladney) to pick up our son and would be happy to bring something with us and/or take lots of pictures! Just let me know.
