Please keep all these families in your prayers over the next three weeks.

DTR 13 Months

DTR 13 Months

Our paperwork has been in Rwanda now 13 months!! Wow!! The other big date that we are looking to is December 10. We should get our referral (be matched with our kids) on or before this date, but this date too is not concrete either, like all things in this adoption it could take longer (but we are praying that we will be together for Christmas!!).


TRAVEL GROUP
The other good news is that three AWAA families are getting ready to travel!! There is only one blog to follow if you wanted to follow their trip to Rwanda. This family is amazing!!

SIX LEFT
In the AWAA Rwanda program there are only six families left (including us) who have not received referrals!! When Rwanda quick accepting dossiers and assigned all of our dossiers numbers, there were 28 families in the AWAA Rwandan program, and our family is 3ed from last on the list. Many of us in this group started tracking and praying and fasting for these families. It has been amazing to see how God has answered so many prayers and brought home so many children to their forever family!!
Now I have started paperwork to update our home study which will lead to updating other paperwork. It is kind of nice to have some work to do on the adoption after having so long with nothing to do but wait. I feel like we are in the final stretches of this and covet your prayers. First for the families traveling in Oct/Nov., second that we would be with our Rwandan children for Christmas.

Thanks so much for your support
