Big News

We are ecstatic to announce that we have begun the process of adopting a baby boy from the country of Ethiopia! We are almost a month into a 12 to 24 month process of adoption. We shared the big news with our families last night and now we would like to share it with world.

We never thought we would be the blogging type, but we thought this would be a great way to keep family and friends updated on our progress in the coming months. Also, we have been so encouraged by and inspired by all the adoption blogs we have been reading. There so many amazing families out there and their stories have given us hope and perspective on what this journey will truly entail. Our prayer is that our adoption and this blog will encourage and inspire other families considering adoption. Each journey is different, and there are always roadblocks, but in the end the reward is so worth it! The difficulties we will experience will pale in comparison to seeing our son for the first time, meeting him & holding him.

Our girls are thrilled with the idea of having a baby brother! I think they have been hoping for this for a while. Please pray for us--we are definitely going to need it!
