Well, not really but kind of. Over the last year, we have tried to adopt domestically on 2 different fronts but that hasn't worked out as we would have hoped. God has a reason for everything right......
So after much prayer and consideration, we are starting another international adoption. Back to Africa! We have decided to adopt from Uganda. Uganda borders Rwanda on the northern side. We are familiar with Uganda as we support Katie Davis (www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com). She has an amazing ministry there and has painted such a picture through her blog and book. There are over 2 million orphans in this small country with 1 million being orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. We have been there before too! Technically anyway.... when we went to get Grace our flight from Ethiopia landed in Uganda and we all stepped out to get some fresh air. So the tarmac has felt our presence anyway!
We are so excited for this next journey into adoption. We are trying to be faithful and obedient. We would have never thought we would have ended up here.... love to see how God works things out.
Where we are in our process.....
We are just about to finish up with our homestudy and our dossier is just about complete. A couple of things that were mailed off for the homestudy are also needed for the dossier. The paperwork is easier this time around because I know what I am doing! I like the paperchase... it gives me a sense of accomplishment in a world where you can't control much.
Stay tuned for more about Uganda and our decision!
