And we're off!!!!

This has been an exciting week for us. We had not planned to start the paperwork process until August but God has provided for us to start things and after talking with the agency we think the timing will still work out. So, this week we submitted our application to the agency, as well as our application for immigration approval.

As I said, God has provide for us to "start" things. This tells you that this is definitely a step of faith. Within 12 months our adoption should be complete and we will have come up with a large amount of money to pay for it. Do we have 100% of the funds today? No! Do we know where the money is going to come from over the next 12 months? Not exactly. But, what we do know is that this is what God has called us to do and He will orchestrate the exact and perfect timing and funding of bringing our children home.

Over the last 4 years, I have seen Him provide for us for two adoptions from Russia and now he has called us to Ethiopia. How could we doubt Him when He has been so faithful and generous to us.

Please keep our family in your prayers as we travel down this new road.
