Hours & Counting

Right now it is 7:25 pm in Zeeland and it is 3:25 am in Addis Ababa.
Just a few short hours and the court will open.
The Ministy of Women's Affairs (MOWA), Alemu (AAI representative), and the Orphange Director will assemble together to present all the paperwork to finalize the adoption. The Judge will approve and the adoption decree will be issued. That is if all goes well and everyone is able to present their paperwork. Not only will Jibril's paperwork be there but other families that are waiting for their children as well. Ted & Jill right here from Zeeland are also anxiously awaiting the news tomorrow morning too.
Please pray that all the paperwork is present and the court process goes smoothly. Pray that we all might get a little sleep tonight. Well Rick probably won't as this snow just doesn't stop; out with the plow at 1:00 AM!! Also pray that within a few hours Jibril will officially be ours.
Next post should be THE NEWS.
All our love,
Mandi & Rick
