Basics

IT'S TRUE!!! We're ADOPTING!!!!  We're so excited to begin this process!  So, to answer some questions...We're adopting from Ethiopia.  We don't know the sex of child we'll be getting.  Our child will be between the ages of 4 months and 18 months.  We should get to go to Ethiopia to pick up our child in roughly 15-20 months.  Now, for the most frequent question-Why are we adopting?  Well, number one, we love children.  Daniel and I met in an orphanage and got to witness the orphan crisis of Africa first hand.  There are millions of children who need food, shelter, and above all love.  Those are things Daniel and I can provide in abundance.   We have decided to adopt before having biological children because we want to have the opportunity to devote ourselves fully to our adopted childs needs.  We are aware that our child will have endured a tremendous amount before arriving in our arms and we want to give as much love and attention as possible right off the bat.  All in all... it just makes since to us and feels right in our hearts.  Thanks for joining us on our journey!!
