PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

PRAISE GOD, Acres of Hope staff has located Emmert's bio-mom and they are bringing her in today!!! This was a very trying situiation because without the US Embassy Consular interviewing her in person, with Emmert present as well, there would be no adoption of Emmert, and no way to bring him home this trip. We are so thankful and we are praising God for his mercy to us and to our little son. Please pray that bio-mom is very honest with Alma (consular), and Alma's heart is soft and understanding. If any questions arrise in the interview things can take much longer, as Alma is (for good reasons) very cautious in granting her approval. If there are concerns things such as requesting DNA test to prove bio-relation are needed. The DNA process can take weeks... So we are hoping and trusting it will not be needed.
We fully trust God and his will and timing in all this. We are standing in Him through this whole thing, and we know HIS PLAN is the PERFECT PLAN....not our's but HIS will is holy. We pray specific requests to Him, but ultimately he is in control, perfectly.

WE ARE ENJOYING LIBERIA....
It is very hot and sticky here, but the staff has been so wonderful and helpful to us and all who are here. The food has been good and non-scary. tee hee. We are lacking a bit in protein,but thankfully I brought some Atkins Advantage protein shakes to drink. Rich and Lynda are so sweet and we have been so blessed not only by their care, but also their encouragement and information about all things "Liberian".

We are looking forward to meeting Emmert's birth mother and also to this long awaited interview. We will update you all soon on the outcome of the bio-mom interview and Emmert's adoption. ---Jessica and Jason
