Updates

Well, Isaac is now really Isaac and really mine. The proceedings yesterday were nothing really, just me answering yes to about a dozen questions and the judge rather uninterestingly mumbling "yea, we'll grant it". So the petition to make Isaac my son was granted, and now we wait for the birth certificate and social security card. Thanks for praying, and for your constant concern.

Today I am packing for the children and I for the next 10 days. They will be off in about 4 hours to stay with friends and grandparents, while I will depart in the morning for Ethiopia. I do appreciate your prayers. I will make some attempt to update the work in Ethiopia while away, but the word I have on the situation there is very little electricity, water, and phone it the past month. Which also translates to internet issues. You may try Kurt's blog if I have not posted.

Again, thanks for praying for us.

I am so glad that it is officially over and that Isaac is yours. Still praying for you and tell Laura if she needs me to watch them while you are gone, I am a phone call away.

I am so glad that the adoption went well. My prayers will continue to be with you, Ellie and Isaac, especially while you are in Ethiopia.

Praise the Lord! I'm glad all went well. Staying tuned in for any and all updates concerning this 21st-30th trip to Ethiopia, praying that God would work in and through all of you.

Anthony,
We praise God for His working out the adoption, for blessing you with your 2 children, and for the family He has raised up around you.
We will be praying for you and Kurt as you travel and minister in Ethiopia, for God's hand to be evident in every situation.
God bless you!
Your family at Hyde Park Baptist
