Dossier completed

210 pages later and we finally sent off our dossier. This was the step we have been working so hard to complete. It is a great milestone to have not only the home study, but the dossier finished and on its way to our agency.

The next big step ... WAIT.

I have to say we are excited to be at the wait stage. This means that now we just pray for our child and his/her care. Our child could be conceived or even born already. God already knows who our child is and is caring for his/her growth and development. We pray he or she is loved and nurtured until we can get there.

We cannot wait to grow our family through another Ethiopian adoption. God has blessed us so much with Kiera and we are praying for her brother or sister daily.

Please join us in praying for our new little one.
Joel, Mandy and Kiera

  1. Hello sister in Christ~
    I am praying this scripture for you as you wait! I'm so excited for this next part of your family adventure. God Bless you friends!

    Love,
    Julie & the Faulkner family

    Lamentations 3:22-26

    Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.
    They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
    I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for Him."
    The LORD is good to those whose hope is in Him,
    to the one who seeks Him;
    it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
