Shortly after 1 pm, after having been driving for over 5 hours (at least three of which we had been staring at my cell phone), we received the call we have been praying for. An agency representative shared the great news that an Ethiopian court had officially declared us to be the parents of the boys referred to us three months ago. We are ecstatic to introduce the newest members of the Tapper family:
Andrew Jeremiah Abu (approximately age 6) and Jadon Desalegne (approximately age 2).
As we settle into our home in Quebec this week, we'll do so with smiles on our faces, knowing that these boys will soon join us! Thank you to all who prayed with us!
Praise God, everybody! Applaud God, all people! His love has taken over our lives; God's faithful ways are eternal. Hallelujah!
Psalm 117:1-2 (MSG)
