An Ethiopian adoption couple, also with our agency, has just rec'd their referral for a child. They are being blessed with a 4.5 yr old girl. Congratulations Holly! I believe they are the first from our agency to receive a referral. The Ethiopian program is very new at Bethany. I look forward to following her progress, so I can know more what to expect!
After our meeting on Monday night (June 2), I should be able to share more about our progress and our next steps.

APPROVED!!

We got the approval today! Next step- homestudy. Our first meeting is set up for June 2.

No news on the adoption, but I wanted to update you all on the Hike for Life we did yesterday. It was a lot of fun. 3 1/2 miles. The weather was nice. As a group (there were 12 from our church) we were able to raise just over $2,000.00 for the center. Mckenzie won a nice gift basket full of movies and popcorn for being the young person with the most $$ in sponsors. She was excited. We took Kennedi along and pushed her in the stroller, she had fun watching all the people as well.  We look forward to participating again next year! Thank you again for your sponsors.

The results are in!

Finally. Jason's last blood test result came in today. The missing piece of our application is in my hand and will be mailed tomorrow.
On an unrelated note- Mckenzie and I are preparing for the Hike for Life walk this weekend. Thank you to all who sponsored us I know that Tri-county Pregnancy and Parenting Center will be blessed by your donations.
