celebrating with others...
No news for us yet, but I feel like it is coming soon. One reason I can say that is because friends of ours' whose little girl is in the same region just got great news this week. Their daughter was moved to the transition home and soon they will travel to bring her home. I am so happy for them and feel like our good news is coming. It is amazing to see their daughter who is about 8 in pictures looking at pictures of her forever family. It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart so full. I can't imagine what it feels like to feel all alone and then to see a family who is waiting to bring you home and love you unconditionally. It's like God's love for us. He gave up His son for us. If you have ever considered adoption, I urge you to look into it. Don't let busyness, finances or your own control keep you from taking this step of faith. It is life-changing and if God is calling you to do it, He won't let it die. He needs us to care for the needy. I know our baby will change our lives more than we will ever change her's. As I walk through this process, it becomes such a desire of my heart for others to embrace adoption. We'll keep you posted on any news.

Shannon, I so hope that your good news is coming soon. I continue to pray for God to move in the Oromia region.
I'm so glad to hear things are moving in your baby girl's region!! That is great news. We continue to pray for her and for all the sweet children who are awaiting their forever families.
