First of all, God blessed us so much at Chick-Fil-A last night. We were able to raise $432.00 and spend the time with friends who truly are excited about our adoption and the burden we feel for the people of Ethiopia.
Secondly, we were postponed again. Our 5th court hearing. ARGHH!! Lord, I do trust You and know You are perfect...that is why we are required to have faith, to believe in the things and the plan that we cannot see. I pray Lord that You do find me faithful regardless of the testing and trials. My aim is to please You.
Please join us in praying for our son. Our next hearing will be April 30,2008. Hopefully, it will be our last court hearing and we can still bring our children home in May.
Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength...
Our family's adoption journey. This is about God, His faithfulness and His Sovereignty in our lives. We are praying it is His will to bring home two children from Ethiopia. ...having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:5-6

WHY ETHIOPIA? WHY NOT ETHIOPIA?
Our first reason is God called us to go
There are approx. 4.6 million orphans due to AIDS and poverty
One in six children die before they turn 5
One in ten children die before they turn 1
Millions still die of starvation each year
Half the children in Ethiopia will never have an opportunity to attend school
Some parts still practice female circumcision
82% of the population survives on less than 1 dollar a day
Only 1/4 of the entire population has access to safe drinking water
Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000
Children and family are honored above all else threre
1 in 3 people are HIV+ , the average life expectency is between 37-42.
If I lived in Ethiopia, I may have died this year!
