The Latest News

Sorry it has been a while since we updated everyone! Sara has been working so hard for the last couple months bringing together all the paperwork necessary to send over to Ethiopia. Monday, August 2nd, we have our CIS fingerprint appointment in Atlanta. This is one of our last steps prior to sending over our "dossier". The dossier includes all our paperwork, home study, etc. Once the fingerprints are done we have to wait a few weeks for approval and then we can send everything over and our major paperwork phase is done. Then we will be on a waiting list for the Gladney workers in Ethiopia to match us with a child.

This is a picture of me and the kids at Queen of Sheba Ethiopian restaurant in Atlanta. The people there were so nice and the food was incredible. We visited there with our friends the Dales, who also adopting from Ethiopia!

In other news, we feel the Lord has confirmed in our hearts the fact that we are supposed to adopt 2 children! So that means Isaac will have a little brother or sister! Our kids are so excited and so are we!

One final note - God has been so faithful to provide financially so far, but we are almost out of funds. When our referral comes (that's when we get the picture of the children we have been matched with) we will need several thousand dollars at once. Also since the second child increases the cost (additional airfare, additional agency fees, etc...) we are asking for financial assistance with Isaac's little sister. The approximate cost to add a sibling to the adoption process is just $3500. Would any of you be willing to cover the cost of  adopting her? Ask the Lord and if you think He wants you to help -  you can send a check to us at our home or just click the map above to give online. Thank you SO MUCH for your willingness to be a part of God's rescue plan for these 2 children!
