Hey Everyone,
Well, we received the medical and social reports on "Little Boy B." Everything looks fine...aside from the fact, of course, that the poor little guy is an orphan in Ethiopia.
The guesstimates on his age range from four to six years old. Our agency seems to think he is five or six. Hmmm...
Although we have bouts of fear and terror, we usually have peace about moving forward. We are very close to moving forward. Our agency says we would likely travel in December or January.
Dave, in particular, is freaking out and has asked for two or three days to pray before he makes the final commitment. (After all, the pressure will be on him to provide for four kiddos, plus me! Even though we know, ultimately, the pressure will be on God.)
By the way, it turns out Little Boy B.'s name means, "blessing."
Thank you for your prayers, support and encouragement, it means the world to us.
We are Dave (aka Dad), Lory (aka Mom), Allison, Abby (aka "The Bigs"), three year-old Amelia and six year-old Bereket (aka "The Littles"). We are figuring out how to be a family of SIX. May God always be glorified! TEAM TASFA is a group of twenty-eight of us who just returned from remote southern Ethiopia, where we were privileged to serve the orphans and widows there. It was the best two weeks of my life!

Praying for your family as you consider this boy. It is inspiring to us that you are ready to think about more! We aren't there yet.
Praying for you family and for little B. Glad to hear you got more information about him.
Lory,
Sooo excited for you guys. You know that God leads...it will all work out perfectly. Is he the one we talked about at the picnic? Oh wait, you were considering the 2 boys then, so I guess I am confused. Fill me in...
Talk soon,
Stacey
