Holding Steady

As was previously announced, Chelsea is off to visit her great-grandmother in Nebraska. Unfortunately she did not get to carry with her the news of a referral. We still maintain hope that it will occur this week. I must say that my perspective of our wait time has changed drastically in the past 48 hours as I have read several of your blogs and your time frames. We greatly appreciate you sharing your hearts, as well as the encouragement you send our way despite your own agonizing wait. To all of you who have been through court once or more, and are awaiting your next day - know that our thoughts and prayers are with you! YOU are very close! On another note, http://muchhasbeengiven.blogspot.com/ Sarah and Davis posted a great video from "Children's Hopechest." We have included a link to it on our post today, and hope that you have the opportunity to view it! What a tremendous way to communicate the situation and need in Ethiopia. I've already found it a good way to help others understand our decision to adopt, and our decision to adopt from Ethiopia.

As for us, we keep holding steady, awaiting the exciting news of our referral...and continue to enjoy all of your support.

ENJOY: http://www.youtube.com/user/childrenshopechest

Thanks for your encouraging words. Waiting is difficult, but those of us adopting and waiting are 'in this together'. I DO hope and pray your referral comes quickly!
