Our Adoption Journey
Dec. 1, 2007
Here we go...our first blog entry!

I've created this blog to provide a way for family and friends to keep up with our journey through adoption. Just so everyone is aware, we are beginning the process in February to adopt a boy (age 2-4) and a girl (under 2) to complete our family. The other children are very excited and can't wait to meet their new brother and sister!

Currently, we are still in the "searching for an agency" stage of our journey. Lately, as adoption from Ethiopia has become quite popular, the number of licensed (and unlicensed) agencies has greatly increased. This makes the choosing of an agency quite difficult . Some agencies choose not to adopt out 2 unrelated children at the same time, so we can eliminate those, but the remaining still provide quite a challenge in deciding. In Colorado, we must have a licensed agency here to represent us in the adoption (and provide the homestudy). So, if the international agency we choose is not licensed in CO, we must then choose a local agency, as well. Oh, the decisions! At this point, we are truly trusting for the Lord's direction.

We are a Christian, military, homeschooling family in the process of adopting a hearing-impaired boy (age 3-4) from Ethiopia. We are also praying that the Lord will bring us another daughter sometime in the future. This blog records our adoption journey.
