We currently have a family in Uganda who had court to adopt their little girl last Thursday. I'm told that the hearing went well, and the family is patiently awaiting their official written ruling. Please keep them in your prayers as they are staying in Uganda and waiting their travel home.
We had hoped to be in the new baby home before the next rent would be due at the current location, but it looks like we did not meet that goal. As mentioned in my previous e-mail, we still need to raise about $70,000 to complete the rest of the new baby home. Today we owe $4,800 in rent for the next 6 months. Please join us in prayer as we endeavor to raise these funds quickly. Below are some of the latest photos from Ken of the work that is being done. The workman at the site have been absolutely wonderful and Ken and Cathy really want to keep the work going. We will be sending our final $5,000 in the building fund account next week and then if no further funds are raised, the work will be on hold until we can raise additional funds. In addition, it is July 1st so it is time to send $4,200 for the baby's home monthly expense budget.

All 5 of our referred children have been accepted by their families and all waiting families have been notified regarding their current position on the waiting list.
