Hey all. I’ve been feeling really heavy over a couple pending adoption decisions and realized I have not been praying about them as much as I should, and I haven’t been asking others to pray with us as well.
Would you please join us in prayer? It truly is the best way that you can support an adoptive family!
We are still trying to get “pre-approved”. I've mentioned this need once before but the update is that our paperwork is in Ethiopia waiting. This is not the normal progression to adopt but the ET government denied a family in August because the husband is a cancer survivor. The family appealed and the decision was overturned (YAY!) but our agency is still trying to be proactive with our case, hence the “pre-aproval” process, which we are thankful for. This is the rainy season and the courts are closed but as soon as someone is there, our ET agency employee will make sure they take a look at our paperwork. It could be any day or it could be weeks. Please pray that someone would be working this week and we would receive pre-approval.
Secondly, we have an application in with Lifesong for Orphans for a "Both Hands" fundraiser. (A full post on Lifesong and Both Hands coming later this week.) We are really hoping to receive approval for this funding. In the past, anywhere between $10 – $50,000 has been raised via a Both Hands project. That would be a HUGE blessing as we are still about $21,000 away from our goal.
I checked in with them last week and our application is the next one to be reviewed. Please pray that we would be approved and hear back from them this week as well.
Thank you!
