Eman is coming home!

Adoption update.   Emmanuel's mother was found and agreed to continue the process of adoption. Please remember her in your prayers.  We will probably meet her during our last trip.  This is where it gets exciting.  Our in- country coordinator plans to appear in court by the end of the month with Emmanuel's mom declaring us as his parents.    We will then Travel to Ghana for 10 days to meet our son for the very first time and file I600.  We will not have nor will we try to take custody of him    We will visit with him and all the other orphans throughout the day .  Though our hearts will be with him 24/7, it's simply not in the best interest for Emmanuel for us to keep him with us when we know that we will have to walk away in 10 short days to return home.

Adoption update:     Things are starting to move ahead once again.  If you have been following our journey, you know we thought we would have E-man home by December.  God has a chosen a different path and timeline for us to follow. We are still matched with E-man, but we are near the top of the referral list.  So, we may  be matched with someone else in the coming weeks.  Which we will have to make a difficult decision at that point.    We have also joined forces with Both Hands/Lifesong to participate in a unique opportunity to serve the widow and the orphan.  We'd love to have you as part of our team! To help us work on Beth's house, please come to our kick off meeting this coming Sunday at Valleydale Church in room 101 at 12:30 p.m.  If you want to donate, just follow the instructions in the letter. Thanks for your support!
