Thank you to everyone that prayed for our adoption along the way. We received word yesterday that we passed court and that Joseph Benedict is officially ours! We are over the moon! I don't know how to post photos on here so you can check out a couple of pictures of him on our adoption blog:
Love and Ethiopia
(If you comment on the blog, please don't use his given name- for privacy reasons).
We travel to pick him up in mid September so I am sure I will be asking for more prayers then!
Thanks again!

He has a very cute, alert expression in his eyes. I know how hard it is to wait to hold your child in your arms - praying time flies.
