Non-Objection!

So Ella, our wonderful Beagle, needed to go outside this morning super early. Like 4 am early. I kept telling her to wait, since I still had about two hours before I had to get up for work. Well, at 5 am, I finally got up to let her outside. After she did her business and got some water, I decided to check Jeff's email, just to see if our lawyer in Rwanda, Agnes, had emailed him. 


That's when I saw it. It was a long name, beginning with a "K" and my heart started to leap, almost out of my chest! I ran over to Jeff's side of the bed and told him to "Get UP!" He thought something had happened to Ella or that there was an emergency.


We both opened the email at the same time and saw it. Our Non-Objection (Approval to Adopt) Letter was in Jeff's Inbox! They like us, they really really like us! The letter says that we are approved for 1 to 2 children and that the rest of the adoption process should take about 2 months.


We are looking possibly at Mid-May for travel. Please continue to pray for our child(ren) in Rwanda. We are coming as fast as we can little ones! Also, we need to make sure we are here for Andrea's Graduation from high school, so we can't be in Rwanda during mid-June. 


We are just so excited and can hardly wait to show some pictures of our little guy, girl, guys or girls! God is just awesome! We know that He has the perfect little ones for us; the children that we need and who need us. 


Thank you all for your support, prayers and just being here for us and going with us on this journey!
