I have high hopes

I have high hopes I’ll be a blogger again. Here’s my first attempt.
For now, I’ll try to share some pictures from our vacation that we just returned from. Only a few have been downloaded. But I’ll try to tell the story with what I have.
We began our extended week by driving to Nashville to do [...]

Soli Deo Gloria

Check out this cutie being united with his family in November from Ethiopia!

A Long Way from the Theta House

This is my favorite blog. I have been impressed with this family for a long time. . . . let me rephrase that. . . . I have been impressed with the way this family allows God to use them to transform one of the roughest parts of the country with His love.

Jadon’s 2nd Homecoming Day!!!

Yesterday was Jadon’s second homecoming day and we had a FABULOUS time!!! It was so much fun because he is starting to understand and get excited about stuff like this. He FULLY understood that the day was all about him, and by the end of the day it was starting to show in his attitude. [...]

But, at the same time, it was a rough, heartbreaking day. 2 years ago, he also left the arms of his foster mother, Rosalyn, who had cared for him since birth. I knew it was heartbreaking and tragic [...]

Drawn from Water

We are moved in (kind of). It is MUCH harder to move into a home with 2 kids than i anticipated it would be. We are slowly settling in. Slowly.
Check out this Orphanage I ran into in Ethiopia.

In rural Ethiopia, parents are forced to kill some of their children due to tribal superstitions. They are [...]

“Going Dark”

Soon, I’ll be “going dark” like Jack Bauer on 24. -insert stealth, ninja move-

Hopefully we are closing tomorrow on our house! (I am still not counting on anything till the keys are in our hands)
I am not sure when we’ll get internet connection hooked up, water and electricity is higher on the list, along with [...]

It is on my heart to post more about adoption. I have so much passion for families created and separated by adoption that I want to share more on the topic.
I will start with a part of an email I received from one of my favorite adoption authors. She is an honest and real [...]
