Need Another Christmas Gift Idea?

Can it really be Christmas Eve already? How did my children grow up to be such amazing 6, 10, 12, and 18 year olds? Where has the time gone? And how amazing that we were chosen again by the Lord to raise two or three more children! We are so unworthy but truly thankful to have the opportunity to grow our hearts and family again!
I am so touched reading all of the amazing Ethiopia blogs this morning by all of the sweet children of Ethiopia finding their forever homes! Many Gladney (our agency) families received referrals or traveled to get their new sweet ones this week!
I am so honored to be a part of this amazing family of people who have stepped out in faith to grow their families through an Ethiopian adoption.
For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, Ethiopia has the secret formula for making the most gorgeous babies and children that you have ever seen...on the outside and inside! (Aside from my four at home of course!) :-)
So treat yourself to a wonderful Christmas gift this year and consider rescuing one (or two or three!) of these sweet orphans!
It is quite the roller coaster ride journey but I promise that it WILL be the ride of your life!
Christmas blessings to you all!

Hi Kristy,
I sent you an e-mail and so looking forward to finding out how close we are to one another. Your family is beautiful and will be even more gorgeous when those ET babes join you.

Your fingerprint appointment is right around the corner and then it will be smooth sailing! Hope this period of "waiting on the paperwork" flies by so we can get you on that wait list!
