We Have BIG News!



Yes, we have really big news, we have decided to move forward with an Ethiopian adoption. We have been praying about it for several weeks now and have waited to post. But, today, the decision was finally made and we will be submitting an application to a very respected agency. I have researched many and there are many good ones out there but we decided on one that fits our family best.

We have learned that there is about an 9 month wait (on average) just to receive your referral. This time will be different for us, we have decided to add a little girl to our family. We are requesting a child anywhere between 12 months to 3 years of age. Today, our adventure has officially begun. I know we are in for a ride, but I also know that God has directed us to Ethiopia and we will trust in Him.

So for now, just wish us a smooth process!

Oh you know our family is beyond excited for you!

This is a different ride and the best plan is to let God! Enjoy the ease of this process and not needing to be involved every step of the way. Relax because He already knows who your daughter is and will make sure she is referred to you on the perfect day. Try to avoid every list and stay away from all the groups. Keep track will make the wait much longer and harder on you. You know I'm right! Little sisters do know a few things too! LOL!

Love you and so excited for you!
