Our Journey Continues

Well...it certainly wasn't the court news we expected or hoped for yesterday. No recommendations were made from MOWA so our court date was moved to the 28th of April. Basically, our case (or any of the other cases) was not heard and has been rescheduled. Maybe because of the power outages going on in Ethiopia-we are not really sure. After the crazy range of emotions we experiences yesterday - anger, frustrations, sadness (you name it-we experienced it) we toasted to the 28th and the fact that it is not too far away. International adoption is so unpredictable and we are just so blessed to even be adopting our kids. We will bring them home soon-just not in the time frame we were hoping and praying for. Soon...

A friend of mine (Thanks Jackie!!) sent me this poem-it's a tear jerker-but so special. Hopefully we will not be "blowing kisses in the wind" much longer.


KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Keep us in your prayers for the 28th.
