The Lord has called us once again....

We are so happy to announce that we will soon be the parents of a sweet 2 1/2 year old boy from Ghana, Africa. The Lord has stirred our hearts since our trip to Ethiopia. The devastation that we experienced changed our lives and hearts forever. The statistics are astounding...147 MILLION orphans in this world! That is NOT okay! As a family we pray for these children often and we know that God wants us to care for the orphans in distress. James 1:27 says, 'Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.' This adoption process has been different because we chose a child off a waiting child list instead of being referred a child. This little boy touched our hearts and we immediately saw him fitting into our family perfectly. We are working with a different agency and different country, so things are different, yet so much of it is the same. I am not fretting over the paperwork this time and things seem to be going pretty smoothly. We are praying that we will have our little boy home by summer. This adoption is a step of faith for us and we are believing God to work out the details. We have set up an adoption fundraiser with a great company called Just Love Coffee. If you are a coffee lover and would like to donate to our adoption fund, click on the picture on my sidebar. Your donation would be a wonderful blessing to us! Adoption is such an amazing journey that has blessed us tremendously. We are thrilled to be adding to our family once again through the miracle of adoption.
