Teshale's Birth Certificate!!!!!

We received Teshale's Birth Certificate today! Wow! Exciting to see it in writing with our names on there as his official parents. We did receive word today that we are very likely to travel Aug 5-15th. This will depend on whether an extra Embassy Appointment can be opened up for all of the families that will be needing to travel then. This is for the finalizing paperwork so we can bring him home! Please surround this in prayer!

Also, please pray for my Mom, Ellen! She has been going through excruciating pain right now as a result of impinged nerves in her back. She has had a lot of trouble with this over the past year, but is currently waiting for an appointment in August to get an epidural to help with the pain. Somehow, the pain meds she has been prescribed are making her very sick and on top of that, the pain seems to be ramping up. She can barely walk - has been needing the use of a wheel chair lately. If you know my mother, that is NOT her. She runs everywhere she goes with gusto! Please keep her in prayer. She is a long way from all of her children and we wish we could be there to be of some kind of comfort for her. Please pray for her wonderful husband Milt also as he is helping her with all of this. I know from my own experience, it is awfully hard on a husband to have to see their wife in so much pain! She might be able to get her epidural Aug 3rd, but I'm praying for sooner!

Thanks for your prayers!
