Our Adoption Journey Begins...

It is so amazing to even be typing that we have begun the process to bring our daughter home from Ethiopia! We will be using Christian World Adoption and have just turned in our paperwork for the home study to start in a couple of weeks. There are so many risks, what ifs, and unknowns. You can stay up all night worrying about them but we know God is behind us, in front of us, and all around us. We have already seen Him work in many financial ways as we took this leap of faith. I can't wait to see the amazing adventure that God has laid before us. Our kids are excited and eager to meet their sister. They want us to adopt more than one, of course the boys were really wanting another brother. I think they are past that now. We started talking about all the fun things that you can make believe with two sisters and two brothers. (that's all they do all day long is imaginative play.) Dason said excitedly one day, "That means when me and Caden are both Peter Pan we can each have our own Tinker Bell!" Please pray for us throughout the next year and beyond. It will take anywhere from 9-15 months from now to have her in our arms. Which means she is probably growing in her birth mom's tummy now. Please pray for her health and protection.

PS Brett's achichilles tendon is healing good but slow, as we expected. He still can't run and walks with a limp. He tried running once but it didn't feel good at all. Of course part of that was just not being able to run for months, he said his whole body hurt. ( :
