We're on our way

We are waiting in the airport right now in the capital city of our boys' country, waiting for our flight to their region.  We flew out of Seattle yesterday to Amsterdam, and from Amsterdam we flew here.  We are going to see our boys in the morning!  Oh, I cannot tell you how much I have been missing them!  I love them so much, and my heart aches to hug them again.  Tomorrow!  


We are looking forward to getting back to the village, where sights like this
are common.  I wonder if this boy knows that children are locked away just
on the other side of that wall?  
Then on Tuesday morning we will have court for the adoption to be approved.  Please be in prayer for the outcome to be favorable.  This will be the first international adoption seen by this court, and I really sense that the need for prayer right now is great.  I am asking you to pray that the judge will see the worth of these two dear boys and that the Lord will speak through us when we are asked to explain to the court why we want to adopt two five-year-olds with special needs.  We are praying that God is glorified and that by Tuesday afternoon these two precious worthy boys will be orphans no more.

Oh gosh, I'm crying. This is so huge to those little boys, and they really don't even get that yet. They have no idea how their whole life is about to be redirected. I will be praying for you. :)
