Court Date Received

I received notification yesterday of my Ethiopian court date which is set for May 12, only two days after Mother's Day. And, and as one of my friends yesterday so nicely pointed out, it was only 13 days away, less than two weeks, at that point. Wow! God is certainly expediting the process now and I believe that He is going to redeem the first year plus that I haven't been able to spend with my daughter. I truly am standing in faith that He is going to make up for what may appear as "lost time." It is never lost to Him. He holds time in His hand. And, according to Jeremiah 29:11, "He knows the plans that He has for [baby girl]. Plans to prosper her and not to harm her. Plans to give her a hope and a future." And, that goes for me, as well, as a parent. Incredible!

Congrats on your adoption!! I came across your blog when I googled "Ethiopian Adoption Grants". Many I have found will not place money with Ethiopian Adoptions. We are adopting through All God's Children International. I would love to learn more about grants from those who have been there and done that. Thanks so much!
