Family update

Hey Friends and family...we are one step closer to bringing our baby girl home from Ethiopia. The adoption is going quick...it is our prayer to have her with us late fall 2009. We are a little nervous about the process, however we have completely turned it over to God. We just keep praying for this little girl. We dont know who she is, but we know she is our daughter. Adam and I were comparing this to a pregnancy. In pregnancy a baby is conceived in the womb, this baby has been conceived on our hearts. Our kids are excited to have a new sister...Kaydence keeps asking for the baby. It is going to be a long wait. I guess just like the anticipation of a pregnancy (without the morning sickness)...though I have felt sick to my stomach at times...the thought of this baby being malnourished, the mother being homeless, scavenging for food with pigs in a garbage dump...doesnt sit well in my stomach. This will be a bitter sweet adoption...we will be receiving a precious miracle, but her mother will still be left there to fend for herself. Kind of makes me feel hopeless. I guess thats were we can learn from our God and his word. Just some of my current thoughts...I guess right now we would just ask for prayer for the orphans all over the world, and for God to continue to provide financially as we have some cost coming up...so far so good. God Bless
