After 72 hours of the worst "labor" we have been through with all of our now three children and on the last day of the Ethiopian Court Session before the traditional 2-month closure, we passed court today and our son is officially ours!!!
We praise God for the tremendous blessing and are in awe of His faithfulness in our life. More details to come soon, but we are due in Ethiopia on the 15th of September and will have him home soon after that. No official name yet, but details on that will come soon as well.
Thanks to all our readers for their prayers, support and encouragement through this long process.
