Please pray for this sweet family and this sweet family.
Sometime overnight tonight judges in Ethiopia will issue opinions on their adoptions.
I had the privilege of meeting, loving on, and taking pictures of their adorable babies, and I can't wait for these awesome families to bring them home!
God placed a heart for Africa and for adoption in both of us a long time ago. In April 2008 God called us to do something surprising: to begin our family by adopting before we have biological children. Even crazier? When we picked our our first child, we met our second. We're excited and overwhelmed, but we know without a shadow of a doubt that this is God's call on our life. Thanks for sharing in the journey!
