Well, we started this blog to record our experiment to go without TV for 40 days. We are at nine months and still going strong. We're planning to make it to the one year mark and then re-evaluate. Sooooooooo, there's not much more to say about that and we've begun a new journey of faith. This blog will now re-focus on our sojourn into the fields of the fatherless.
We have started the process to adopt a baby from Ethiopia! We have always planned to adopt internationally and after our third miscarriage on Christmas Day 2009, we looked at the four, beautiful, healthy kids we already had and asked ourselves, "what are we doing? There are children out there who need parents. Why bring another one into the world?"
We've researched adoption on and off for years, but this time God is leading us forward and growing the seed that was planted long ago. We chose Ethiopia for many reasons, which I will detail in another post soon. Right now, we've just so thankful to be on this journey and cannot wait to see what God has in store for our family!
