We’ve Been Matched!

Actually, we’ve been matched for about a month, but I wanted to wait a bit before reporting just to be safe. These things are never certain until all the “i’s” are dotted and the “t’s” crossed.
On Tuesday, October 10, we received word from our the adoption agency we’ve been working with for the last year that a match request we put in a week or so before had been granted. We’ve been matched with a little boy, almost two, and his infant sister. And that’s about all we can say now, except that, if all goes well with the courts and immigration services and God has it in his mind to grant us this gift, we’ll travel to Ethiopia sometime in the beginning of the new year to meet and bring home our children.
We’ve got a lot to do around the house yet, but we’re on it. And I have to write that I’m grateful for my bride Rebecca’s energy and dedication; she’s been the driving force behind this adoption, and she couldn’t have done any better or any more than she has.
