nothing yet!

Some of the families had sad news yesterday. The courts in ET would not accept their POA. For some reason the gov. changed what they had been allowing to happen and moved all of those cases to early Feb. Our POA should be fine but this may slow down our getting a court date? Who knows?? When working with a foreign gov. you never know and we sure have had our discouraging times through all of this. Hang in there fellow families God is still in control!! Any how I am off to PA. to see my mom tomorrow if anything happens while I am away I will have Jay, or one of the boys blog for me. Till later..... In His Hands!!

Another birthday!!

Happy birthday Dru, 22 today!! What a blessing you have been to your family and all those that know you!! Kolby's 17th birthday was on the 13th and Jay and I celebrated 25 years of marriage on Jan. 7. God has been so good to us and we feel very blessed. We are anxious to add our 2 daughters to the mix very soon. Have a good Monday, Sharry

SNOW!!

It snowed here in Raleigh. Nothing like what we used to see in PA. but pretty anyway! I personally do not like the cold and wish that I could have been visiting our oldest son in Lakeland Fl. he said it was in the 70's. Missionary week starts tomorrow at church so it will be a busy week. Also I am flying to see my mom and grandma (and siblings) on Thursday. Thanks to Ron who gave us the free trip miles. I haven't seen mom since Oct. and it will be a nice break before our household changes with the girls coming soon. It is melting outside but the temps. are going to be pretty cold tonight. Time for some hot chocolate, good night and God bless

going to Ethiopia

We found out yesterday that our paperwork is on its way to Ethiopia. From what we understand it will be a couple weeks before we hear about a court date. We are anxious to have updates about the girls and when it is ok to do so we will update all of you. Please keep praying as we have not heard from any grants yet. Caroline's Promise did let us know that they have a meeting and choose families sometime late in March. We ask for prayers for all those involved with making decisions about awarding the families grants. I am sure there are many deserving families waiting to bring home their children.

our journey

Hello all, I know that I was trying to update another site but I found it confusing for my mind. I wanted to let everyone know that our paperwork is on its way to Ethiopia this week. After recieving the rest of our money the paperwork is going!!! We do want to pay this "loan" back but we will deal with that later. The most important thing was to get the girls here. I will keep you paosted. God Bless and thank you for all your support it has been a looooong journey!!
