November is National Adoption Month. Our adoption is far from being complete, but we still enjoy hearing adoption success stories. Since this is also the month of Thanksgiving, we would like to mention a couple adoption-related things that we are grateful for:
Continued prayers and encouragement from friends, family, and even some strangers!
A new Ethiopia program director to work with! We didn't seem to hit it off with our last director, but our new director seems the perfect match for our family. Jennifer is an adopted mom herself and knows first-hand the emotional and financial strain that adoptive families feel. She understands how confusing the process can be and doesn't mind my questions and need for endless "hand-holding" as we navigate this amazing journey together.
My four beautiful biological children who never forget to pray for their baby sister.
