INTRODUCING LILA AND KALEB




Today the authorities in Ethiopia approved our adoption paperwork for Lila (2+) and Kaleb (1+), so we can now send pictures!!!

Our tentative court date is June 30, which would have Holly and I travel to Africa during the week of June 22 to bring our children home during the week of June 29.

Now begins the final details of booking airflights, securing needed vaccines, making in-country arrangements, recruiting family to stay with our other children while we travel and a number of other "to do's".

Thank you so much for your ongoing prayers for our family and especially for our new children.

We praise God for His goodness and for those who have supported us along this journey!!!

With Love,

The Murdocks
