God is so good...and not just because He gave me what I want today. You know?

Finally!!!
We are finally going to get her! We will be leaving sometime around the 5th of September to bring her home!!! We got the email at 6 am this morning, and I am over the top excited and nervous that this whole thing is coming to an end. Praying for those of you still waiting, especially my sweet friends, the Lakeys. I know this wait is crazy hard, and the minute you think you've passes a huge milestone, you find yourself back in this endless pit of waiting. It will happen though!

update
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. Hiwot's paperwork was submitted to the Embassy July 28th, and we heard back this past Tuesday that the Embassy needed some additional information. We are hoping that our agency submits what they need tomorrow morning. Then, we will just wait to hear from the Embassy again. Please pray with us that they get what they need, and we get cleared for travel soon. I can't believe it has been 10 months since we first saw her sweet face. So weary of the wait and REALLY ready to bring her home.

more waiting
So MOWA didn't issue an opinion at all on our case today. That means that we are just waiting again...could happen any day, but no one can give a guess at how long it will take. I'm frustrated but am thankful that we don't have to have a new court date. This is crazy!

Tonight while we are sleeping...
Major things happening over in Addis tonight while we are sleeping. People will be deciding whether we become legal guardians to "our" sweet girl. I'll be on pins and needles in the morning!

Update and request for prayer
Good news first - so many of our waiting friends are getting approval letters from MOWCA like crazy! That essentially means they are passing court, and their children are becoming legally theirs. I'm super excited for all of them, and this is what about 30 of us have been waiting for the past few months. So far, 26 of the 30 have received opinions from the court, and out of these 7 are help up for various reasons. We are one of the 7. Ours was held up because of a fingerprint issue I had all throughout the paperwork stage. Everyone is hopeful it will be resolved quickly, but I have learned not to count on anything for sure during this process (except that God is good and in control.) We have another court date on June 13th where we will hear whether MOWCA got what they needed to give us a positive opinion. Hopefully, we will get good news and she will be ours! Once that happens we schedule an Embassy appt. and go get her which is taking 6 - 8 weeks. Please, please, please pray with us that we pass on Monday. Most likely they will be reviewing the file Friday, so prayers for the MOWCA official(s) that day would be helpful. Thanks friends!
