nuthin' to say...
Many people have asked me to update my blog, but unfortunately, I have no news to report! I do know that Sayfou and Matterline have received our packages and they want to be adopted by us. That's good news! There is a man named Bob Bridges from Charlotte who is in Liberia this past week picking up his boys from the Dixville orphanage. Dave spoke with him before he left and asked him to check on Matterline and perhaps take her to a clinic in Monrovia. It appears she probably has malaria. She has similar complaints that her sister, Angelyn, has... constant headaches, dizziness... all that come and go. I hope that Bob can bring us back letters and perhaps pictures of them. If so, I will post them as I receive them.
I just read a post from a Yahoo! group I've subscribed to and I am including it below:
I just got this news today. On Friday, Judy Elkins and Sherry from PLAN met with the Deputy Minister of Health regarding the status of adoptions in Liberia. He said that they will announce the changes in 2 weeks, but that they will be small. Praise God!

Joyful Mommy to 10
6 at home: Thomas (10), Naomi Ruth (9), Rebekah (7), Hannah (5), Miriam (3), Susanna (2), and Baby (due 10/08)
and 3 in Liberia, coming home March 11th!!!!: Stephen (10), Sarah (9), and Samuel (4)
So perhaps in two weeks, our dossier will enter the "pipe" in Liberia rather than sit on a stack of file folders somewhere!
Thank you for your interest in our family and for your prayers. We know God is up to something big.
Thanks for keeping us posted anyway. We'll be patiently waiting along with you.........Love, todd
