| A Mother's Day Gift from my sweet husband only a couple weeks ago. |
We have a daughter! A precious girl waiting for us in South Africa. A GIRL! God has blessed us with another child. A little girl just turned one. Her name is Kietumetsi which means "I am happy." This name will be her middle name. Our agency had suggested pretty strongly that it was highly unlikely that we would be referred a girl so we hadn't spent much time thinking about girl names. Her new name will be shared soon.....we just have to agree on one :-) Her daddy is excited to meet his little lady.....her momma can't wait to squish and kiss her.....her brother is planning on taking good care of her and has picked out a special stuffy friend to accompany his precious Peter Rabbit alongside his new sister. We are over the moon.
While details are still tentative we are hoping to meet little miss on June 20th with a tentative court date of June 25th. If you are the praying type we would appreciate your prayers for the following things:
1) That the adoption process would run smoothly and there would be very little variation between the actual court date and the tentative one.
2) That we would find accommodations while we are there....apparently there are some major events taking place during our stay that have booked up some of the suggested accommodations.
3) That our daughter would know she is loved.
4) That God would orchestrate a connection between all the members of our sweet family of four.
We look forward to sharing more of our journey in the next couple months. Thank you to all who prayed for our little girl before we knew her name and saw her sweet face.
