We passed court!

We just found out that both of our children's Ethiopian court cases passed!!  This means that the Ethiopian government has declared us their parents!  We are so thankful to our great God.  We've been absolutely humbled and amazed by His kindness and generosity to us!  A few days ago I read Psalm 9:12, “He does not forget the cry of the afflicted,” and couldn’t help but praise the Lord for hearing the cries of our baby boy and girl.

The soonest date we could be given to go pick them up would be just before March 11.  Our son will be 3 1/2 months old and our daughter will be 4 months old by then.  We're so excited to meet them and for our friends and family to meet them too!  We can't thank you enough for praying for us and our children.

We can freely share their pictures now, so here are some of our favorites for you to enjoy.  Please welcome the newest members of the Philpot family!
