Praise God! We finally passed court!!!!
Meet our youngest son, "Benaiah Metuku!" He was born on January 19, 2008, so he is now about 8 1/2 months-old.
The photos are in the order that we got them. The first one is from his referral when he was 4 1/2 months-old. The last one with the pink, ruffled bottom was sent to us on October 1, so he is just over 8 months in that one.
William and Susan will likely fly to Ethiopia on October 25 and will return home the next Friday, October 31.
Thank-you to everyone for your prayers for our court date to be successful. Please, pray that the details for our travel will come together and that our trip will be uneventful other than the excitement of meeting our son!
Gotta get packing!
