Ring Ring?

Ring... Ring.... RING come on phone ring!
You know that feeling you had on Christmas eve... The one where you lie in bed wishing you couild fall asleep so the morning would get there faster, but no matter how hard you try you just can't fall asleep? You just lay there too filled with excitement and wonder knowing that the next morning is going to be SOooooo awesome.
I just want my phone to ring and I know that when it does... it is going to be so wonderful to finally have a face to focus all of our prayers on. We are trusting in Him!

Trying to fall asleep,
Tony

Numbers for April

It is Official, we are #2 for both a girl and for a boy. We have been sitting at number 2 on the girls list for almost a month. It is really hard not to feel discouraged. Everyday I check my phone about a hundred times to see if I got a text message from #1 or to see if I missed a call from my agency or wife. I'm really hoping that my phone rings this week... If it does, then I will have an amazing story to share with you :)

Ethiopia

March Numbers!

We have been praying for God to move in a mighty way in Ethiopia. From the most resent news from our agency AGCI it sounds like there are some good changes happening on the Ethiopian side of this process. We recieved our Official numbers for March and they 7 & 7 on both lists.
Now you know that I really like to share our unofficial numbers because they are much more up to date.
We are number...

for a Girl

AND

number...

for a Boy!

Which will it be????

How Close?

VERY! I must say that I am way excited about our current unofficial numbers. We are 8 on the Boys list and 9 on the Girls list. There are three families in front of us on both boy and girl lists, which will help the rest of the wait move a little faster. I'm starting to wonder about when we will get our call for a referral, and wondering where we will be when that call comes in...

One year!

On February 18, 2010 my wife and I prayed over our application to AGCI in the Ethiopia adoption program and then dropped it into the mail slot. With the great need for orphans in the country of Ethiopia I would have thought the process would be much quicker than it has been. We have prayed for patience and for our hearts to completely rely on God. This is His plan and it will happen in His time. Unofficially our numbers are 10 for a Boy and 12 for a Girl. Boy or Girl, Girl or Boy... I guess only He knows and I am excited to find out the answer to my questions. :0)
