Chosen Before Time: Our Journey to Baby E

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed un in Christ...even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, ... In love he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." Ephesians 1:3-7

Fingerprints: Complete!


Our fingerprints have been taken. Our dossier is waiting to be translated and authenticated. Now… we wait! Over the next year, as we wait with great expectancy, our task is to educate ourselves on transitioning our family and Ethiopia. The African culture and heritage is so rich. We have much to learn. As we also do about parenting in an adoptive home. A helpful website I have found is www.babeofmyheart.com , as well as Dr. Karyn Purvis’ book, The Connected Child. We are so excited and so blessed to be meeting with another couple from our church who are adopting from Ethiopia, every other week to walk through A Christian’s Guide to The Connected Child. There are ex citing days ahead at Wynne Baptist as sweet Ethiopian children will be brought home! Praise His Name!
