Off it goes

We're sending in our application tomorrow! Out into the wide, wide world it goes. Hopefully it will arrive in Virginia safe and sound.

The Beginning

It has taken us a while (for various reasons) to arrive at this point, but we're ready to dive in!

God has been showing us His heart for adoption for quite some time now and it's finally time to move forward with it. We've long had a desire to be a part of the solution for the AIDS epidemic that is ravaging families around the globe, and at one point served for several months with Christ's Hope International in Namibia. God has combined that desire with a yearning to experience Him through adoption and to share His love with a young child who is orphaned; the result is that we're starting the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia (which has one of the highest AIDS orphan populations in the world).

We're so incredibly excited to start this journey; at the same time we are a mix of many other emotions. We know that the road ahead will be challenging, frustrating, humbling, and extremely rewarding as we watch God move to add a little baby from another continent to our family.

This blog will serve to document our journey and show God's faithfulness throughout the process. Thanks for following along! Feel free to leave a comment while you're here.
