More Documents Needed


These are the latest pictures that we have received of Leah and Rachel



We thought our documents were all in order but we received an e-mail from the Embassy this morning that they were still missing documents from our agency after three requests. We contacted our agency this morning and found out that they received an e-mail from the Embassy that they need additional information about Leah's family. Tomorrow is Christmas day in Ethiopia so our agency will not be able to obtain these documents until Monday. We are getting concerned that we may not be able to travel in January. Hopefully once the Embassy receives these documents on Monday they will immediately process them and allow us to travel for the next Embassy date on January 24th. At least we now know what documents are missing and can follow up with our agency. Please pray that we will be able to travel on January 24th. This date will be three months after our court date and 10 months after we received our referral. These little girls have been in the orphanage waiting for a family for 17 months or more now and it is time for them to come home.

They are so beautiful. Praying you can make the next court date. Is there only one a month?

Cinda,

They have two Embassy dates a month. They had one today and then they should have one in 2 weeks which is why when we miss a date it is kind of a big deal because we have to wait so long in between. Thanks for praying.
