A Day of Celebration

Today we celebrate being on the wait list for:

7 MONTHS
My mom Schivon celebrating the 7 months of waiting that is now behind us.
The last families to receive referrals with our adoption agency waited within the 7 month range so we are hopeful that God's timing is near. As each new week approaches we are optimistic. Please continue to pray for us to have strength and faith as we wait to see the face of our sweet baby girl for the first time.This is our daily prayer.

In addition to today being our 7 month wait list anniversary, today is also Father's Day and although Bret is not "officially" a father yet, he is in his heart. So to honor him and his dedication to our baby girl, I got him these special gifts:

This shirt that says, "Dad" in Amharic (the official language of Ethiopia).


AND a picture frame for his desk at work to put "her" referral picture in.

Happy Father's Day to all the other waiting and adoptive dad's out there. You are all very special men and your children and wives are blessed to have you!

  2. Sorry about the confusion!!! I checked it earlier and paypal worked---but, it's definitely not anymore! So, you can just use the "Donate" button on the right sidebar on our blog. We hope to place the order in a month and will get you the necklace as soon as they arrive! Thank you for your support!
