Today we turned in our official application to adopt internationally! I don't think I can even explain how ecstatic I am!
We finally have a feeling like we are settled and can finally take the leap towards adoption. Our application is for Ethiopia, possibly Uganda. We would like to adopt a sibling set, most likely two children but open to the idea of three.
The best part of this all is we told our son about it (4 yrs old) and he was super excited. He got a few details messed up when talking about it later, but he is talking about it! He will make an amazing big brother. He has compassion and so much joy to share. It will be such a happy day to see Caleb sharing his love with a brother and/or sister!
If you are reading this, please pray for us and our children. First, we pray that wherever our children are, that they are being loved by someone and are being cared for somehow. Second, we pray for the orphanage that we will adopt from. And third, please pray that this is a relatively smooth process, void of big hurdles! We understand it won't be an easy ride, but we hope it stays fairly calm.
So excited! Big smiles today!!!
