When we sta...Hi, just found you blog and read this. When we started our adoption journey, I felt called to Africa and we let the Lord lead us to whatever country our children were at. I heard the same comments about Ethiopia and I had to put those thoughts aside and follow our path. In the end, our children are in Ghana and that has not been without waiting and occasional bumps on the road. But if our children had been in Ethiopia, we would have pursued with confidence that the Lord would see us through. I hope no one let's fear be the determining factor on their adoption. Thanks for sharing your heart.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447360665987245975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-39506289876090982552011-08-02T20:53:34.355-05:002011-08-02T20:53:34.355-05:00just for laughs tonight.....

When I hear "bad" news coming from Ethiopia and how it can/will effect our adoption I let that fear take over, and worry that this adoption isnt going to actually happen, we will suffer heartbreak and great financial loss. Thank you for the reminder that this is God's calling and I need to let go and trust Him in this. It can be so easy to let that Fear prevent you from following God's amazing plan!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932749044708564797noreply@blogger.com
