ANDREW'S PRAYER
Within days of bringing Elizabeth home, Andrew started praying for a younger brother.
We thought it was a phase.
It wasn't.
His prayer then expanded to "a younger brother and a brother just like me".
Then it expanded further to where he has been praying for at least 18months for "a younger brother, a brother just like me, and an older brother".
We always chuckled and told him "buddy -we can only do 1 at a time"...and he'd answer something along the lines of "I know, but I still want 3 brothers".
Andrew is getting 2 of his 3 prayers answered. :)
which 2 do you think it is?
I'm hoping to have time to at least give the basic details Tuesday evening -we meet with the pediatrician Tuesday around lunch and because the medical information is very basic I highly doubt there will be any cause for concern....but tomorrow is also our anniversary so John might prefer I spend time with him rather than the computer. :) At the latest, I'll update Wednesday morning. :)

I love when God shares info with our kids first. :) Can't wait to hear the news and see pictures!!!
Ooooh, what a wonderful anniversary gift!
My guess is a younger brother and a brother just like Andrew!
Can't wait to hear the details!
And happy anniversary!!!!
Andrew is one of a kind so I know there is no one out there "just like him"!
By the way, Happy Anniversary!!!!
I have been following your blog for a few months and I just saw your link to Kingdom Kids in Spokane! My husband and I are intending to attend as well. I say intending, because I am still trying to get off work (I know, pretty last minute, right?) but I am confident we will be there. It will be fun to meet you! My husband and I had a 10 month old in March and we are working really hard to get him an older sister from Ethiopia. I love how small blogs (and adoption) make this big world of ours. Maybe we will see you there!

I found your website because we, too, are a YWAM Ethiopia family. We are waiting for our fingerprint appt. And then will be anxiously praying for a speedy referral of siblings. I am so excited to know which of the waiting children you are talking about. Happy Anniversary and congratulations!!
