Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans.

As many of you know we have been trying to start our family for almost two years. We have explored and experienced almost every infertility treatment there is and in the midst of shifting gears and preparing for a new treatment - we paused.

We began listening closely to our hearts, and one another and discovered what we both truly felt called to do was to adopt. The fact that we want children and there are children around the world longing for parents, just made us realize that somethings work out for a reason, and sometimes God has other plans for you.

Our next decision was easy; where to adopt from? We both knew that we wanted to adopt from Africa because of the extremely large number of orphans in need of forever families. Some people may wonder why we decided not to adopt domestically? The answer is simple. We choose to adopt internationally because of the cost; the shorter time frame; the fact that more people adopt domestically than internationally; the number of orphans abroad vs. the number of orphans in the United States, etc.

We've put together a video to explain why we've chosen to adopt from Ethiopia. We hope that this video will help you understand our decision and help educate you about the plight of orphans in Ethiopia.



Please visit our blog frequently to see where we are in the adoption process and hear about our latest fundraising efforts. We can not do this alone. We appreciate all of the support of our family and friends! The adoption process is long and filled with highs and lows, we will need all of you to get through it.

In the end you will have a new family member and friend; and we will have a daughter and be a family.

We absolutely cannot wait!
