REQUESTS:

Please pray: We need the government to agree to give us back our overpayment. This would probably nearly cover our outrageous flight fees in August. To the tune of $16,000 for 4 out and six people returning.

PRAISES:

~ We had an amazingly fast court date: 5 weeks!! The girls are ours!

~ Our referral WAS a quick one!! It was 3 months, 30 days! We were referred two girls: 4 1/2 & 3 1/2.

~ The medical can now be begun at referral, rather than at court date, thereby shortening our 'time til travel by 2-3 months' after court date!!

~ Our file has gone to Ethiopia - St. Nicholas Day!

~ Our homestudy is complete and approved!

~ Cassidy got the part of Randolph in the musical Bye Bye Birdie, after sacrificing his television/movie auditions trips for the adoption.

~We have been so blessed by the kindness of all our friends in caring for our children while we have been at seminars and meetings.

~Our social worker is a really nice lady.

~Due to no comments stating the opposite I can only assume that our financial situation is acceptable to everyone.

~We received an adoption grant of $10,000!

~Our social worker will complete our homestudy over the next two weeks!! We are moving forward!!

~Our financial needs are being met abundantly.

~We have been very blessed by gifts from friends and family lately.

~Our accountant's letter was approved by Kidslink!

~ We heard that our income is not taken into account when approving us for adoption with the Kidslink adoption agency.

~Praising that Courtney got into ISEBR before Sept. 3.

~We had the pleasure of meeting another Ethiopian adoption family that lives in our province!

~ We made friends with a kind Ethiopian man who will have his son take us around Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!

~ We don't need to wait for Ministry Approval as our agency can give this approval!! One less step involved!!

~We received a $750 mystery cheque from the government!

~ Our medical exams & tests came back free of problems!

~ Our physicals are only going to cost $200, instead of nearer $1000 for forms, exam, and tests!

~ Huge Praise!! Through dear friends of ours, God has met some more of our needs! Thank you!!!!

~ Babysitters lined up for the Seminars!!!

~ Criminal check in England not necessary - one less hoop!

~ We did great at our garage sale - we made $255

~ Ray has an abundance of work right now!!

~ Our lawyer has not charged us a penny for his services!
