We are surrounded by some generous giving folks!  We are now under 100 pieces remaining - 84 to be exact!  Praise God!  That's just amazing and humbling.  Thank you all again for being in our corner - for being a village around us that is supporting us in the journey God has for our family.  It means so much to Amber and I.

Update on our adoption - all our paperwork has been sent off.  Our dossier (all our documents that go to Ethiopia) are in Washington DC right now at the State Department and then will navigate to the Ethiopian Embassy in DC.  Once all that is done, it will make a pit stop in Washington State for our agency to review and then head on over to Ethiopia.

Our paperwork for PAIR has been delivered to USCIS as of this week as well.  PAIR is a process in which USCIS makes a preliminary determination that the child appears eligible to immigrate to the United States.  They then will issue a letter that we need to take with us to Ethiopia.  This process can take 4-5 months.

We are still praying for a court date in November (1st trip) and a second trip by the end of the year to bring them home.

Thanks again for being a piece of the puzzle!
