For us our journey started with a little girl named Lucy Lane who was adopted from Ethiopia. We watched her gotchya video which I shared here, and our hearts were stirred. We will never be the same because of that little girl. I never want to go back to the way we were. Eyes tightly closed to the reality around us.
Today I am going to share a video of this same little girl one year later at home with her forever family. Her life has changed, and her family's life has changed.

Please take the time to watch it - you will notice our family in the video towards the end. There have been 75 plus families that have been called to the ministry of adoption because of Lucy Lane's story.
It only takes one to save one. If only 7% of Christians would adopt there would be no more orphans in the world!
I know not everyone is called to adopt, but in my heart I feel God is calling many more than are listening.
Is HE calling YOU?
It is scary. It is sometimes controversial. It is costly.
But I promise you that if you know He is calling you to this, and you step out in faith, He will provide! And the journey, my friends, is beautiful. It would be a shame to miss out.
What if there is a little Ethiopian child that needs you?
What if there is an orphan somewhere waiting for you?
This isn't a guilt-trip. Some will feel nothing from this, but for the sake of the one that has been wavering or that has maybe been convicted for the first time today....
this post is for YOU.
