Chosen. Adopted. Loved.

After years of praying and waiting, we found ourselves holding tightly to two little babies in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We thought traveling to pick up our children would be the end of our journey, but we found ourselves at the beginning of much more.
In our five weeks in Ethiopia, we fell in love with the carefree culture and the warm, hospitable people. But while there, we also learned about some of the hardships the people of Ethiopia face, particularly the children. There are over 4 million orphans in Ethiopia, many who will never know the stability and unconditional love of a family. This is especially true for older children. After seeing glimpses of the reality of orphanages, we returned home compelled to do something. After supporting orphan-prevention ministries and orphan care ministries in hopes of helping many, we now find ourselves pursuing just one. One little girl with soft curls and a bright smile who lives on the other side of the world. We've only seen pictures and a video or two, but already she has our hearts.
We are privileged to add this sweet girl to our family, and are so thankful for your support. Thank you for helping us to bring her home. Every little bit means the world to us -- and her.
