Whenever we are cleared by the Embassy we will need to buy tickets HOME! Jacob and I bought one way tickets to Ethiopia because we don't know when we will be coming home. We are hoping to come home by the end of February. We are waiting for the Embassy to open our case and review our file. Then they will probably request a birth parent interview, THEN we should be cleared to come home. Once we are cleared we will need to purchase 4 tickets home. We expect those to be between $3,000-$4,000. Our stay at the first guest house ended up being much more expensive than we planned. We are so thankful for the opportunity to rent this house with 2 other families. It has been a great experience and we have been able to save so much money. But we still don't have enough to buy plane tickets home.
If you would like to help us buy plane tickets home you can donate through Lifesong for Orphans. They are a great non-profit that assists adopting families and offers tax-deductible receipts. If interested, you need to put Mowen #2363 in the memo line of a check and mail it to:
Lifesong for Orphans
Mowen Adoption #2363
PO Box 40/ 202 N Ford St
Gridley, IL 61744
Thank you so much for considering helping us home!! God isn't finished writing this journey yet, so many people have been a part of Jacob's adoption and now Isaiah and Kaleb's adoption. We are forever grateful to each one of you!!!
