Hooray!!!!!

Ben's cousin Amy and her family have had a successful court date and are now the proud parents of 15-year-old Alex! He is currently in an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and they will go get him soon. Alex is the older biological sibling of their other two Ethiopian children - what a wonderful reunion they will have this January! We are so excited that Adissu will have a cousin his own age. Who knows how well they will get along, but I am pretty sure that it will be wonderful to have someone to talk to who is in a similar situation now! What a creative God we serve to bring our family together in this way! Praise God!
