Well, we started the international adoption process over a year ago. It's been a wonderful learning and growing experience. We have completed the bulk of our paperwork and are excited to begin the waiting phase of adopting from Ethiopia. We will most likely receive a referral letter for a baby within 6-10 months. After that we get to travel to the beautiful country of Ethiopia. We are so excited to further our family through adoption and look forward in giving Manning a little sibling to enjoy and grow up with. We plan on keeping you all informed as we countdown to the time we get to hold our little one. In the mean time, we ask for prayer. 1st, for health of our baby in Ethiopia and for the parents that are having to make the most difficult yet bravest decision of their lives. 2nd, for our patience and trust in Jesus as we wait.
I look forward to following your family's journey and praying for you as you walk by faith!
