As most of you know, we are nearing the end of the process to bring home our
2 daughters from Ethiopia... in less than 6 weeks, we'll be traveling to
Ethiopia to adopt them and make them legally ours, and then the
real journey begins!! (I really never imagined
us with 6 kids! ;) )
You may also know how expensive the whole process is: from the beginning,
our goal has been $40,000 to bring them home. Now that we're in the home
stretch, we're just at $7,000 short of our goal. The Lord has graciously
provided for every step of this journey-- truly, from the very first payment and
form we submitted, the Lord has provided exactly what we've needed. We have had
countless friends and family-- even complete strangers-- join in writing our
adoption story and for that, we are eternally gratelful.
November is National Adoption Month, and this Sunday is Orphan Sunday. Many of you will hear stories at your churches
about orphan care, adoption, and fostering programs. You may see facebook posts
about orphan care, or you may read articles about the fatherless. You might see
pictures of orphans across the world, some in the US, and maybe even some right
in your own community. Many will touch your heart; some stories and photos may
even stir you get involved in orphan care in some way (hopefully!)
We have an opportunity for you to be part of directly saving the lives of two
very special orphans-- two little girls waiting to come home to their
forever family. We are asking that you prayerfully consider helping us in this
final "home stretch" .... the final $7,000 is all we need to get our girls
home!

I stand amazed at the Lord's grace, His kindness, His provision; I have been,
and continue to be, completely overwhelmed at how we have seen and felt His hand
on our family throughout this entire journey. We continue to thank God daily;
our lives are truly Ephesians 3:20-21!
To God be the glory!!
Much love,
