And the Country Is...


Ethiopia!
We are thrilled to continuing our pursuit for being matched with our child or children in Ethiopia! Many have asked why we chose Ethiopia and our answer is not simple. One, we feel led to pursue the country. The time is a bit shorter, our children have the potential of being younger, the agency which we are working with has a great relationship with the orphanage and has a full-time doctor, nurse, and English teacher on staff. The children are well cared for and we feel that we would be able to provide a loving home for a child or siblings there. We look forward to sharing more information as we learn more and letting you know of our next steps.
Thanks for the support!

A Prayer to Guide Us Through This

Susan had lunch with a friend who shared this prayer with her:

Please infuse my being with your light--surround me with your love, that I may be lifted up and carried by your grace. Whisper into my thinking the inspiration that will help me through this. Help me be clear and calm. Embolden my heart with the courage to stay present and connected, for I know that in your presence lies my healing. I ask you to guide me-and everyone involved in this situation-every step of the way. Lift my spirit into a higher vibration that I may grow from this experience and become my greatest potential. Let there be a miracle. I am open and willing to have a miracle occur. Let the healer rise and take charge. I thank you in advance as I know that it is already so.
