New Year And New Friends!

I have been so fortunate over the last couple of weeks to meet other families locally that are also adopting from Ethiopia! We are all excited to meet face to face and to begin building an Ethiopian community for our children and families! What a blessing it is to meet others who have been called by the Lord to go and rescue these sweet orphans so far away! ("God sets the lonely in families" Psalm 68:6)

I also want to send out a hearty welcome to our families and friends just finding our blog site through our New Years cards. We are excited to share our journey with you! So for you newbies, here is a little bit of info to catch you up to where the Lord has led us and where we are in our journey.........
Daddio and I felt nudged by the Lord to begin praying about adoption again a couple of months ago. We felt clear about going internationally this time and adopting a sibling pair/group but had no idea from where. As I did an Internet search, I came across Ethiopia and knew that our children were there waiting for us! The poverty and disease there is astounding but the people and culture there are so rich and beautiful. So we have been in process for several months now and CANNOT wait to bring our kids home! We don’t know who they are yet, ages, sex, etc. but we know that they are ours and we can’t wait to go get them! Hopefully we will know who they are by summer time and will be on our way to bring them home soon after.
SO there you have it folks...our journey in a nutshell!
So please check back often as I try to update our blog weekly and please pray for us and our journey.

We pray for a blessed and treasure filled New Year to you all!
