About Us!

My photo
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

I have been meaning to update for awhile but never seem to have the chance. 
 I'm sure everyone has been wondering about the adoption. It has been months since my last update and I apologize for slacking!  
Currently, we are seeking God's wisdom in our adoption process. There are many changes going on in the Ethiopian adoption policies including potential changes that could cause us to not be able to pursue Ethiopia anymore. It's almost to the point of Ethiopia closing the door on international adoption and our agency has recommended that families look into another country to adopt from. Not that our agency isn't fighting for the children in Ethiopia but they see first hand what is going on and how the government continues to delay the process. 
As we have been seeking God's wisdom on what path He would have us take, we have been led toward donating the money to another family for them to start the adoption process. We have spoken to that family and they are praying about it and we will see what God does with it all. Nothing has actually been decided yet. We just want to do God's will and whether it's our family or another family, we want a child to be given a forever home. 
We continue to pray for Ethiopia and the children waiting for their families. We know God can do mighty things. We ask that you pray for us and the other family that God's will be done. 
I will do my best to keep everyone updated more often.
