It's Christmas, again.

Just as we were all starting to come off of the sugar high and take down our decorations I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. January 7th is Christmas is Ethiopia. Today I wonder how our little Jude will celebrate. Has he heard the name of our Lord? I look forward to next Christmas when we can all be together as a family. There are so many things that I dream about doing with Jude; but really high up on my list is taking him to church, especially the Christmas Eve service. It was always such a special time for me as a child and can't wait to experience it with our son.

We received our January waiting list numbers. Not a whole lot of movement, but still loving the peace that God is giving us about His timeline.

On the boy list we are officially number:
And if it is God's will for us to have siblings we are number:
Though the sibling list goes down each month that is because there are families like us that are on both lists, but have accepted a referral for a single child. Therefore they are removed from both lists. Siblings groups are not very common (especially under 5 years). We would love to adopt siblings though, only God's timing will tell.
