We passed court! Selam and Furtuna are officially our daughters! An e-mail came through today with the unexpected news that we passed through the Ethiopian court system a day early. We are so thankful! All praise and glory and honor to the Lord for bringing these precious girls into our family. We will travel to pick them up on Nov. 29th. More photos to come, for now we introduce our two new daughters. Thank you all for your support and prayers, we are so grateful.

Oh! The joy is just overflowing, isn’t it!? I’m tearing up just seeing their faces online next to the photo of John, Will and Grace. Won’t it be fun to have all five of them together soon? I eagerly await that photo! Praise God! He can do what He says He can do and He is who He says He is!
