April is showering us with blessings and stress. We've been wanting to go on vacation for quite some time but didn't feel like it was appropriate to spend money on vacation while trying to pay for the adoption. We haven't been on a vacation since our honeymoon almost 3 years ago! Well, the Lord provided us with an amazing opportunity to go to Jackson Hole, Wyoming! We're SO excited to have time together to just relax and enjoy the beauty of nature! It's not totally free but VERY close. God is so good to grant us our desires.
Last month we were told that Ethiopia would begin processing 5 cases per day instead of 40 but that never happened. Well, the Dept of State is still saying it's going to happen. (Feel free to keep up at their official website at http://adoption.state.gov ). If this truely happens, it could make our adoption a 7 year process. I'm very sceptical that this will happen but you have to be willing to accept that it could. When people ask when we will get our baby my response gets to be 8 months to 7 years. Oh, the joys of adoption. There is a Waterdeep song that says "it's a long hard road, with a good good end." I think that definately speaks to adoption. We're just hoping our "good good end" is months instead of years. We feel very confident that it is going to be months but either way, it will be a VERY good good end.
