July Waitlist Numbers


Some exciting news! There have been A LOT of referrals this last month in the Ethiopia program as a result of the new relationship AGCI (our agency) has begun with an additional orphanage! Most importantly, this means that there are many children who have been referred to their "forever families" and will soon be brought home into loving arms! But, it also means that there's been a lot of movement in our waitlists, which brings us that much closer to bringing our little one(s) home!!!!!  

Here are our new numbers:
Girl:

March - 45
April - 44
May - 44
June - 41
July - 33

Boy:
March - 37
April - 35
May - 34
June - 31
July - 24

Siblings:

March - 15
April - 14
May - 14
June - 12

July - 8   SINGLE DIGITS!!

Looking at our new numbers, our girls said, "We're DEFINITELY going to have twins!!" And this is, certainly, what they're hoping for. Each night before going to bed, they pray, "Dear Jesus, bring our baby home soon. I hope we have twins..." Gotta love little hearts!!

Here's what we've been up to...

I pray God continues to put these orphans into families in His perfect timing.

Until next month...
