After a busy Monday at work, I am looking through the mail and see what looks like an official letter from the government. Getting very excited about it being our appointment for our fingerprinting I realize it is just a receipt saying the government has received our payment and they will notify us when they have an appointment for us. Very discouraging! I was just thinking it is only a little bit over a month before we leave for the Philippines and we are running out of time to get this done before we leave.

Also received some more discouraging news from our adoption agency, they have 81 other families who have dossiers in Ethiopia who have not yet received a match. 81 other families before us. This is disappointing news. Please pray that God will move our paperwork and that our child will be matched with us quickly. Thanks for praying!
