a little news

Our new agent Jimbo let us know that they were not able to get an appointment with the US Consul until after June 19th. He doesn't know an exact date yet but is going to let us know when he finds out. This appointment will just be to register Jimbo as manager of Hope. Once he gets there he should be able to see what is holding up Liam's birth certificate and hopefully get us filed at the embassy. After we file it should take about 2 months from them to process our paperwork and finally give us an appointment to go get our boy!!! We really thought that when we finally passed court it would only be a few weeks till we could go back. It is getting harder and harder to wait. I cant believe we have been waiting on an Embassy appointment since December. This has been a LONG 6-8 weeks.....they should have said 6-8 months. We are getting very excited and anxious to go get him. I hope it wont be much longer. The courts shut down in Aug for the rainy season, I hope that doesn't mean that the Embassy shuts down too. I really hope we can get there before the rain starts. I don't want to have to worry about delayed flights or cancelled appointments, plus I really want to go to the market to get Liam some traditional Ethiopian things for him to have here.
There is a lot going on right now, which is for another day. Just please keep us in your prayers this week!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-7
