God calls again!

With prayer and soul searching and talking with eachother Gene and I have decided to....

      INCREASE OUR AGE RANGE AND
ADD THE POSSIBILITY OF A SIBLING!!!



*Gasp* Yes, you read that right we may be adding TWO children to our family!!! (Enter shock value word here) So you may be asking yourself right now why we decided to do this??? Our answer is God. 

Our decision to adopt was originally based on the idea that we wanted to adopt an infant or young toddler. After an only God designed mesh of events which include me hosting the His Little Feet Choir and hearing stories of older children adoption, crazy road signs, and family comments, we knew God was showing us something and we had to follow it. My three very American worldly children opened their hearts and their eyes to Detcho and Nahagi and the other children in His Little Feet Choir. We read the journey's families are going and have gone through to adopt older children and show them God's love. How they are just as in need as a tiny infant. And everywhere we went were signed God was telling us to open our hearts.

You may also be thinking all the scary thoughts that were going on in our heads when it comes to trauma and grief, language barriers, sibling rivalry, health problems, and the list goes on. But we know that God has called us to do it and he will not let us go through this alone. And in our wait time we are researching and learning and preparing our lives for the what ifs. So.......

Our official approval is one Boy 0-6

or siblings one 0-8 and Boy 0-10. 

      (It's fairly broad to allow wiggle room. )

Our official request to Ethiopia: one Boy 0-4

or siblings one 0-6 and Boy 0-10.
