"Let them know that it is YOUR HAND, that you, O Lord, have done it." Psalm 109:27
We have reached what we believe is the culmination of the journey of the four miracle children from Awa@@, Micah David Kulp, Isaiah, Josiah and Lydia Semlow. Indeed, Monday our children will be released or they will not. I cannot begin to tell you how heavy yet excited our hearts feel.
WE NEED 1 SIGNATURE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THAT SIGNATURE WILL BE OBTAINED OR DENIED ON MONDAY.
The story is long and the details are muddy but what we know is that there will be a meeting on Monday with the local officials in the town where Micah's orphanage is located who can deny or approve our adoption. If the paperwork is signed, our representative will petition on Tuesday for a court date.
If the paperwork is NOT SIGNED, our four along with ALL of the children in Infan*** orphanage will remain in Africa until a new federal license for Infan*** can be obtained. This is a process that can take years.
This is a political battle. Feathers are ruffled on the local end because of the federal denial of our recommendation letter.
PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!!
- Pray that the heart of this ONE MAN who must sign our papers will be BROKEN FOR OUR CHILDREN and that he will be led to release them into our hands.
- Pray that the right words would be given to those who must speak with him and change his mind.
- Pray for our hearts this weekend. It's going to be a long 3 days as we are tempted to worry and fear.
- Pray for justice for these children and for our CHILDREN TO COME HOME.
OUR GOD INDEED REIGNS and is in complete control of this meeting. We are confident that He has purposed this for our families and will be glorified no matter the outcome.
We love you and know you will be on your knees with us. Thank you so much for walking this with us.

Praying hard for these precious ones!! These children have Father who loves them more than you ever will, and His plan for them is more intricate and beautiful than we can imagine. I am trusting Him with you and the Semlows that He will release them from the hold the enemy has on their paperwork, that they would be freed to begin their new lives with your families!!
Turn your face to Him. He will give you strength to get through this journey!
In Him,
Molly
Kim and Kulp family and Semlows,
I am still praying and believing with you for God's miracle working power to be revealed in these adoptions. I have been praying for a heart and mind change in the judge and court system and now specifically for this one key person. I agree with and am praying with Molly's requests. God hears and answers prayers when we agree in faith.
You and Micah David and Isaiah and Josiah and Lydia are loved by God.
Love and hugs and payers,
Debi

We are lifting you up and asking God to work mighty miracles on your behalf, your son's behalf and the children of AW@@@. We love you all so much!!! Praying for peace to rest upon you all in a way you have never felt before this weekend.
We will ABSOLUTELY be praying for this on Sunday (Monday in Ethiopia!). It's time for the walls of Jericho to fall for your family - and that of so many others affected by this. We are with you in prayer. God is faithful
