About Us!

We are Elizabeth and Allan Pack and have been married 8 years. In November 2011 we took that leap of faith and applied to adopt a child from Ethiopia. This blog is all about our journey from start to finish. We patiently waited for 5 years to bring our child home and as of April 2016 we felt God was leading us to withdraw from the program and help another family bring home their child.

Update/Yard sale

I know it's been far too long since I've updated everyone! Things stay pretty busy around here working full time and spending my free time playing and loving on our adventurous 9.5 month old. :)

Yes, we are still in the waiting stage of our adoption. But, due to a misunderstanding, our home study wasn't updated and so therefore our fingerprints were not updated. We are still on the list and moving up the list but since our documents have expired if a child became available right now we wouldn't be eligible to adopt them. At first we were really upset that this had happened but after hearing from our case worker that everything was still ok, we think this is best until closer to time. The estimated wait time is 3-4 years from our DTE (Dossier to Ethiopia) which is 3/22/13, so we still have a while to wait and this will also save money to pay for other documents when the time comes. :)

We are excited to announce we are having our first 2015 Adoption Fundraiser coming up this Saturday, August 8th!! We are excited to see what God has planned for it. A friend of ours is letting us use her yard since she lives in town where more people are likely to see it. As always, our friends have been so generous in donating items for us to sell, we really wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for all their love and support.
