A HUGE blessing is we are moving forward...
With a sweet little 17 month old girl. Both of her parents are deceased and she has been with her grandmother who is extremely poor and her living conditions were pretty bad. She is staying in the orphanage director's home right now with he, his wife, and kids, as she is pretty sick and malnourished and needs time to get stronger. She is a teeny little thing right now...weighs less than 20 pounds...to put that in perspective.. all of my boys weighed 20 pounds at 6 months old! She speaks Lusoga, a Ugandan language. Since she is so small, she doesn't speak much anyway, so learning English should be easy for her.
Court is closed from July15-Aug 15 so we will not be able to go until after Aug 15. We have a lot to prepare for between now and then!
We are beyond thrilled to welcome her into our family! We have decided to name her "Eliana Abigail" Eliana means "God has answered" and "Abigail means "My Fathers Joy". We will most likely call her "Ellie". And here she is in all her cuteness...:)

Please pray with us that everything goes smoothly with her and we are so blessed and thankful that "God Has Answered"!
