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.
