Prayer

Well, it's been 2 months since our dossier has been sent to Ethiopia, and it really has gone pretty fast. They said it would be 4-6 months to get a referral (what baby God has for our family) and so, we wait. All the kids will be in school full time for the first time ever and I am looking forward to nesting for a few months:) Deep cleaning, getting ready for a garage sale, painting a few rooms, putting together a crib, etc. Fun stuff for me:) I am posting to update everyone, but also to request prayers for all the children in the orphanages and transition homes (where our baby will live after we get a referral- the adoption agency owns/runs these, not the government). They have so many children, and they are in such close proximity to each other all the time, that germs will spread, no matter how clean they try to keep the homes. There are chicken pox and Upper Respiratory Tract Infections sweeping through these homes and I'm requesting prayer for their poor little bodies to fight off these infections and viruses. Please pray for protection for them, especially until the go to their adoptive families, where they will receive better medical care. Thank you!
