Internet connection has not been the best for us here in Ethiopia, explaining why we have posted so little during this crucial time of bonding with our son here. However, we will update the blog when we can...
Already accomplished
Passed court (just after Christmas)
Received court decree
Birth Certificate
Passport Application
Received Ethiopian passport
Embassy medical check-up
Submitted visa application to embassy for US visa
To come
US Embassy does their investigation, interviews us, gives clearance and appointment
Travel to US
Travel to Cameroon
We are praising the Lord, for it is He who has done this work of bringing us together with Christopher (Toph) and in such a short time, has granted that we be submitted to the US Embassy. Our confidence in our Father has grown incredibly through our time in Addis, as He has answered hundreds of prayers, and we pray that Toph trust in Him with an unshakable faith like the cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 11.
Additional prayer request: Our updated home study was delayed in being submitted to the US, and the overseas address on our visa application here in Addis does not match that update. Our prayer is that the US will communicate this update to the Embassy in Addis quickly, that the temporary discrepancy will not hinder the processing at all of our visa request, and that we would continue to trust in the Lord through each 'bump' in the road.
