Specific requests

I have 2 specific prayer requests related to adoption tonight.  As you know from following along we are waiting for our file to be submitted to court in Ethiopia to get our first court date.  This could happen any day, we are just awaiting the news.  My prayer is that we can get Yosef home before his birthday.  He turns 2 on August 15.  If he is not home before then, we have to buy 3 airline tickets to fly home which is more than we have planned for.  A child under 2 can sit in your lap and not have a ticket.  Otherwise, a ticket is required.  So I'm asking for you to pray him home so he can celebrate turning 2 with his forever family in HIS home!

My other request is for our friends, Jeremy and Shelly.  They are in Bulgaria right now picking up their new little girl.  Ivelina is 8 years old!  They will be there all this week and come home next Sunday.   Obviously it's a big transition for all of them and there is a language barrier too on top of it all.  Please pray for them through all that lies ahead.  Thanks a bunch.

I promise to update as I know more.  A praise I have is that my Pampered Chef is going well.  I haven't gotten my first check yet, but God is really blessing this.  I have already had 3 shows and have my calendar for June booked up.  This is amazing!! More money for airplane tickets to bring our boy home.
