As many of you know, on October 10, 2012 we brought home our amazing 8 year son, Shimelis from the country of Ethiopia. What many of you may not know, is that we concurrently adopted Shimelis from another agency all the while remaining on the wait list for a little girl from Ethiopia with America World Adoption Agency (AWAA). We are also beginning the process of a domestic infant adoption while we wait for our Ethiopian adoption (approximately another 2 years)

please look here, to see our first meeting with him

Adopting Shimelis was a wonderful surprise to us! we knew we wanted to adopt 2 children and it is so exciting that she might be home with us as soon as next summer.

When we adopted Shimielis, we were fortunate enough to have been able to pay fully for his adoption and still also have approximately 1/3 towards bringing our other children home. But, adoption in expensive and having 3 children is expensive and that is where we are asking for your help. Even $1 helps! and if you shop from this link that a percentage of your purchases will be donated towards our adoption.

We know that God is good and will provide for all of our needs. We are asking that you consider helping us bring our daughter home. Any amount helps, its all going to the same place and that is placing them with us forever.

Please enjoy this video of our son coming home.  Exciting to know that so many of you can be apart of this happening again with our other children home coming.
