Finally Ours!!!

It is with such gratitude to our Lord that I get to introduce to you both of our beautiful boys . . . .




Josiah (Melkamu) Diaz (18 months)






Jeremiah (Abush) Diaz (7 months)
Yes! We got word this afternoon that both of our boys passed court! They are officially ours. My doctor also gave me approval to travel the last week of November/first week of December (we have to wait 4-6 weeks to travel to allow time for the passports/paperwork to process and for an embasssy appointment). Thank you everyone for praying and supporting us through this roller coaster - we are truly blessed. I hope to post more pictures soon.

Yeah!!! I've been checking all day! I'm so thrilled that everything went just right. They are so beautiful and I can't wait for you to get them home. You know, Josiah isn't too much older than Catia, so maybe they can be buddies - or we can just start planning their wedding now. heehee What a joyous day! Love you all!

Congratulations!!! I have been following your blog and was up late Thursday night (Daytime in Ethiopia) praying and waiting for an update about court and was disapointed that you would not know anything all weekend. I am sure you are very excited that the wait is over! Your boys are absolutely adorable!!!

Blessings as you prepare for your exciting trip!
