Measles Outbreak in Addis Ababa

Well today we got a notice that there is an outbreak of measles in Addis Ababa. Please continue to pray that Faith and all of the other babies in her orphanage will remain healthy and safe. I guess they don't vaccinate them for measles there!

Court Date January 12th

Well we got our 1st court date which is January 12th. We will go to Addis Ababa for a 4-5 day trip. We will travel south 3 hours by bus to meet Faith at Hosanna Orphanage. We will get to spend about 3 hours with her. Then we might possibly meet some of her family members in Hosanna. The next day we will go to court and go before the judge in order to make Faith ours forever. She will legally become ours after the court hearing. We will then leave to go home without her. This will be the hardest part of our whole journey. Just knowing she is there waiting for us and wondering why we left her?????? We will be home for 4-6 weeks and then go and get her sometime in March. Yeah!! I can't wait only 10 more weeks until I can hold her in my arms.
