We are so very excited to share with you that we have a little boy waiting on us in Uganda. We are so blessed and it has been pretty exciting around here. However the excitement is turning into urgency. We want to get to him as soon as possible. Our hearts ache for him. I cry for him, our children pray daily that he would have a full belly and that he would be safe. He is 20 months old and almost exactly 2 years younger than Cole. He has a room, bed and clothes in our house now. We have repainted and moved Averie to the guest room so she has her own bathroom and the boys will share a bathroom. If you know me though you know that Cole still sleeps in my room and sweet M will too....
What happens next? Good question. We have been filed for court and so now we wait again. We are hoping to hear in the next week or 2 when our court date will be. Once we hear it could be within 2 weeks or it could be 4 months. Obviously we are hoping it will be ASAP. We are taking Averie and Cole with us when we go. We will get there several days before court. If everything goes as planned we will be in Uganda for about a month and will come home as a family of 5!! Please pray for us and for sweet M.
Unfortunately I will not be able to post pictures or other identifying information until he is ours but trust me.... he is just so sweet. His eyes are big and he has beautiful long eye lashes. I do have several (like 25) pictures of him. I have a sweet friend in country right now that has made a couple of visits to love on him for us. He also has a picture book of pictures of us.
We appreciate your prayers and support. I will keep you more in the loop... I promise.. :)

Congratulations Mandie! It's been such a long, winding journey for you. So happy that you are nearing the end of this journey (and the beginning of a new, exciting one as a family of 5!) Praying for you and your family!
I was just wondering about you the other day! Congratulations!! Can't wait to hear that you have a court date and your boy is home. :)
