Our Adoption

I wanted to post a quick update on some adoption stuff. As many people have probably heard, there were lots of rumors about adoptions in Ethiopia shutting down. As far as I understand this is all just a rumor and adoptions are still up and running. However, there has been a lot of talk about social media and privacy issues concerning adoption. We have decided that instead of making our blog private or worrying about accidentally posting something that could potentially harm the adoption process for ourselves or others, we are just going to keep "adoption talk" a face to face conversation for now and not post about it in a public forum.

We SO appreciate the crazy huge support of others and know that people want to follow along in the journey. But as of now we are still on hold in the process and will be waiting a bit longer to become "active" again. After that, we really have no idea of a timeline, as new laws and process have changed things in Ethiopia. But YES we are still adopting, YES it will still be a little girl, YES we still need your prayers, and YES we would be happy to answer any questions face to face or on the phone/email about adoption in general.

I have met so many people and have the privilege of helping others start their own adoption journey through this social media network. So please still contact us if you have questions about adoption and PLEASE keep our family in your prayers as we continue to wait on God's perfect timing to add a third precious daughter to our little family. This blog will continue to be filled with the happenings of our two little nuggets & once we have our third little nugget home she will fill these pages too!! :)

***and side note to my fellow adoptive/waiting family friends...I know this has been a hot topic and isn't for everyone. I know there is a "right" way to document your adoption journey online but I would surely mess it up and that's why we have decided to stop blogging/facebook posting about it. :)

 

I was trying to post a recent pic of the girls and this one came up. I thought I would leave it! This is day one of their precious little lives! Crazy crazy the change...the one below was taken today....Nora is right and Zoe left on top and its swapped on the bottom pic. :)
