Our Mission:

This is a blog to document our adoption journey. After many years of infertility and heartache we feel that we are being led to parent the parentless. There are millions of children in the world that need a loving home and loving parents. After much prayer and soul searching our hearts have been drawn to Ethiopia. With the help of Children's Hope International we hope to adopt a baby boy from Ethiopia. Bourkely Zane may not be born yet but he is definantly alive in our hearts. We love him already.

We would like to thank our family and friends in advance for there support. We ask for your prayers as we embark on this long and emotional journey.

Application approved.....

At 5pm on October 25, 2010 (one week earlier than we had planned) Sharon Turner, the head of the Ethiopian adoption program at Children's Hope International, called to let us know that our application has been approved and we are now a Children's Hope adopting family. This is a great relief and a load lifted. Now comes the mounds of paper work and working lots of overtime to come up with the finances. The Lord has blessed us once again and we thank Him every minute for what He has done for us.

It has begun.......

The first step of the adoption process has begun. On October 19, 2010 we sent our application to Children's Hope International. We are now waiting on approval from Children's Hope that we are eligible to adopt from Ethiopia. This should take approximately two weeks. Then the dossier process begins. Stay tuned for more updates.............
