Two weeks ago we receive an email from our adoption agency stating that there are not any adoptable children in the orphanage, in U*anda, that they work with (we have been on the wait list for over 6 months). The email went on to ask us if we would be open to Ghana, Africa. This is another country that they work with. Monte and I talked about it that night. The next day I called the agency back and told them that we would be open to Ghana. We truly believe that God can use one country to bring you to another and our hearts want to be open to anything the Lord has for us.
SIX HOURS after making that call...
A friend posted, on facebook, about THREE waiting BROTHERS in ETHIOPIA. Their ages were the ages that we have thought, all along, would be perfect for our family (7, 6 and 4). I immediately called the agency that they are placed with and talked to the case manager to get more information.
Over the next week we kept in close contact with the agency. We also spent a lot of time in prayer. The last thing we wanted to do was let our emotions get in the way if these boys were meant to be in someone else’s family. The Lord answered each one of our prayers.
On May 9th, we said YES to changing agencies and countries, because our boys are waiting! Now we start the journey of becoming a family of TEN!
We stand in awe of how God has worked every little detail out.
How can it be anything other than God? ~we do not believe in coincidences~
~Last year, we felt such clarity that God was asking us to be open to 3 boys that we changed home study agencies, because the first one would only approve us for 2 boys.
~If those boys were posted ONE DAY earlier, I wouldn't of even thought twice about them being part of our family. The email about the lack of children in the orphanage in U*anda, planted the thought in our minds about being open to other countries.
~The ages are PERFECT!
~This whole time we have had a heart for waiting children.
~We honestly were fine with any African country, but we are so very elated to be going back to our girl's birth country!
We are all so excited! The boys are excited for three more brothers and the girls are excited that they are no longer going to be the youngest!
God is so good and we are blessed!
