I've got chills

Our friends the Cassells are in Ethiopia right now. They went for their first adoption court date. When Kirstin posted on FB this morning that they had met and spent time with their son, I literally got chills. Their story is a very moving one, and if you haven't been following it, you can, just click on the Our Journey to Africa link on our blog list down on the right. Her post today brought tears to my eyes, even though it was written before they actually met him. After they come home, they are at the mercy of the courts as to when they get to bring him home. As Kirstin says, she is heartbroken. I can't imagine what it would be like to meet your child-to-be and then have to return home without him. I hope the next few months pass by quickly for you guys and I will be so glad when he can finally come home!
