Smith Family Adoption
by Bobbi Smith 1 Lives Impacted Ethiopia
We are the Smith family, established October 2010. Since day one, the question we have received has been, “So, when are you going to have kids?” ...
We recently received some unbelievable news... Our adoption agency contacted us to say that they do not currently have a waiting list, and they would love for us to be the couple to provide a home for a six month old boy who is waiting for a forever family. With everything in us, we knew that God was knocking on the door of our hearts to let this child into our lives. Immediately after receiving the incredible phone call, we were led to 2 Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” This was great affirmation to us that our Lord has led us to our son! We have named him Elias, which means “Yaweh is God.”
Now we have the overwhelming and EXTREMELY URGENT task of fundraising! As soon as the referral becomes paperwork official, we have the daunting task of raising $27,000 WITHIN THE COURSE OF TWO WEEKS to adopt our little boy, or else he will be referred to a different family. We hope that you will prayerfully consider helping us reach this goal. Each prayer and donation is important and will help to make our dream of starting a family become a reality.
