Three months ago, on April 22, our family received a referral from our adoption agency for a sibling group of 4 beautiful children. Today, July 22, they are officially ours! A judge in Ethiopia signed all our paperwork making our adoption official! We are now a family of 9! Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Thank you for all your prayers! Attached is a picture of Aliyah and Anna in Ethiopia on July 6 with their new brothers and sister.

Please keep praying for God's timing in bringing them home. We hope to have an appointment with the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia sometime in early fall.

Thank you again for your prayers!

Sincerely,

Jon, Christi, Aliyah, Anna, & Brayden
