On July 15th, my brother in law and sister, Neil and Jill Young, got news that their referral for a 4 year old little boy in an orphanage in Ethiopia had been accepted. Little Israel was declared their son through a simple phone call. In an instant, our family has grown and will include another precious child- a new brother, cousin, nephew. What a miraculous gift from our Creator God. We are beyond thrilled and now will pray fervently for him as he is far away from his new home and probably won't be able to join his forever family for several more months.
Please pray:
-For his safety (emotional, physical, spiritual) as he waits to join his forever family
-For his heart to be prepared for his new family
-For his biological father who let him go (his mother passed away)
-For his emotional healing
-For Judah as he accepts a new brother
-For Jill and Neil as they must endure more waiting
-For safety in traveling to Ethiopia twice to finalize the adoption and bring Israel home
Thank you to each and every person who has said a prayer, sent an encouraging e-mail or made an encouraging phone call, or contributed financially- You made this possible and the Youngs are so very grateful!
