The Lord has heard our cry and answered our petition for an embassy date of May
27th. I am absolutely in awe of all He has done this entire process. He has had to move mountains more than once for us. We do serve a mighty God!! My heart is overflowing with joy and thanksgiving knowing in 8 days we will meet our children for the very first time. This is the very plan set forth before time began. It is playing out as the Lord has ordained it to be. Dawit and Bereket have waited so long to have a family. Our children have lived through so much pain, losing their parents at such young ages due to AIDs, cancer and severe poverty. The Lord knew all along we would be their parents and they would be our children. I will sing praises to the Lord for all He has done. Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips will praise You!! Be still and know that He is God!!
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!
