We are so excited to announce that we are adopting a baby from Ethiopia!! This has been something we have been praying about for a couple years now and after God doing a big work on our hearts, we are doing it!!We still desire to have biological children and believe that we will in God's time. But we feel confident that this is exactly where we are supposed to be right now!!
We have chosen to give this 100% over to God and we have faith that we will be provided for and protected throughout this process. The more we learn about the ins and outs of international adoption, the more we realize that this is going to be quite the journey and we aren't taking any of it lightly. We know challenges lay ahead! However, we are ready and can't wait to grow closer to God and grow stronger in our faith.
God has already started giving us wonderful signs that HE is with us in this. We know that God loves adoption and we feel so blessed that he is choosing to grow our family by blessing us with a little munchkin from afar!!
Please check my blog frequently, as I will be posting prayer request for our little one. It is an odd feeling having NO control whatsoever over this child but it leaves us with no option but to put this little life, and its prenatal development and safety completely in God's hands.
I will also be writing more later on why we are adopting, why it's Ethiopia and all that good stuff.
We are super excited to get going on this crazy journey! Keep checkin in......
