Adoption Update

Hi friends :) We wanted to share an update about our adoption because Dan and I have a big decision to make soon and would love your prayers!  We recently received word that the Ethiopia program at our agency is closing due to lack of referrals.  Although our wait time has increased since starting the process a year ago, this news was very surprising to us. The past couple weeks we have been talking with our social worker regarding next steps, and what it boils down to are these two options: transferring to another Ethiopia program that is receiving more referrals than ours that is closing for a fee, or transferring to another country- namely China (due to wait times, required time in country during visits, and other factors, this is the other country available to us to adopt from).  

This is not an easy decision for us to make and there are many different things to consider as we move forward. We so appreciate all your support thus far and can't thank you enough for your prayers for clarity and discernment as we continue to process this news and seek the Lord regarding the next steps for our family!
