I can’t believe we get to do this again. Even though this is our second adoption, it’s still frightening, as I assume it would be the third, fourth, or fifth time. It’s always scary to step out in faith into the unknown. But what we DO know is that God is, has been, and will always be faithful to us. We can’t wait to see what He has in store for us in Ethiopia. We appreciate your prayers.

Thank you to all of you who have helped us in so many ways. You have prayed for us and prayed for us and prayed for us, when we asked you to, and even when we didn’t ask. You have been supportive and encouraging, even when you thought we were a little crazy. And you have helped us raise the money we needed to get to this point. You bought t-shirts, baked cakes, gave guitar lessons, served dinners, and donated time at your vacation homes. Some of you completely blindsided us with checks in the mail for LARGE amounts of money. You have given of yourselves, lovingly and sacrificially. We know that God has been honored because of your generosity. Thank you for helping us, and thank you for surrounding our little girl with love, even before she gets here.

We wish you could all go with us. We will be thinking of you every step of the way.
