We have been primed through the start of this adoption to be patient, understanding that this process takes a long time to come to fruition. Through prayer and guidance we had positioned ourselves with a mind frame of not getting overly excited. We did not want to be let down by the months and months, maybe years, of waiting. To further dull our excitement we were told Ethiopia would be shutting down for a couple of months and not to expect much movement. We were okay with that and really content with our position in the adoption process. Well today that all changed!
wait...

WE HAVE BEEN MATCHED WITH OUR SON!
Our agency called us this morning and had the most handsome boy for us to consider. God's plan, not ours... We thought we would have much more time to prepare, but that is not the case. We have unofficially decided to proceed in bringing home our Little Lion Man. We will be reviewing his paperwork, again, and sending in the official acceptance forms.
With this unexpected blessing in our lives, we are scrambling to secure the financial portion required for this stage. We still have a lot of puzzle pieces for sale, and will need to collect any outstanding commitments as soon as possible. Please be understanding that we will be expediting this process due to the GREAT news today!
Let me say again he is a handsome fellow and he melts our hearts! We cannot posted his picture on social media or give out descriptive information about him on here, but we will be happy to share in person. PLEASE do not post anything descriptive about him or his picture on social media or similar sites without our permission. This could jeopardize the adoption.
We have been extremely blessed and do not deserve it, but can only say thank you to God, our family, our church, and our friends!
