That is what Emilee heard on the afternoon of Thursday, October 12th when our social worker called us with "The Call!" She proceeded to tell Emilee that we were referred 2 boys: Isayas (age 3.5) and Molla (age 4 months). Our social worker explained the boys' story about their family and how they came to the care center in Addis Ababa, a story that we will save for our boys to tell another day to those they wish.
After the intial phone call, Em called me at work and I basically just sat there, stunned, listening to Emilee tell me all about my new boys. BOYS! Wow. It took nearly the entire weekend for everything to really sink in.
Em and I are in the process of getting everything ready. Their rooms, their clothes, paperwork, finances, etc. We have no word on travel yet, but our guess at this point is that we will be traveling in mid-December, but this all depends on how fast the courts process paperwork in Ethiopia.
Pray for us as we prepare for this amazing adventure and trip. Pray for our boys in Africa, that they stay healthy and happy, that they are well taken care of and that all of us will be prepared for this very strange, yet fateful blending of families.
Oh yes, if you would like to see pictures, please email me at starrio@gmail.com and I will send them to you. Unfortunately, until the adoption is final, we are unable to post any pictures of the boys.
