" Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. " Jer.1:5

" For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in the secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; In your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me. " taken from Psalm 139

We leave one week from tomorrow to pick up our six year old daughter in Ethiopia! We knew the moment we saw her she was ours.

It is amazing to think Ela Faith was hand picked for our family by our Father in Heaven since the beginning of time. God perfectly formed her little club foot. That is what drew us to her. Mikes dad, who is with the Lord, was born with 2 club feet. Her club foot was very significant to us.

Our prayer for Ela is that she will trust in the Lords light and truth. That she will know her creator loves her and has a special plan for her life.

We are so thankful for the many friends and family who have supported us on this journey.

I am so excited for all the families who are in the process of adopting! We are blessed to have a family that lives on the same street adopting from the same agency, our kids might know each other!

We will post pictures and videos of your trip.
