Months and months ago I received a facebook request for prayer. It came from a "friend of a friend." David has a pastor friend whose wife is friends with a lovely woman named Heather. Heather, her husband, and their children were eagerly awaiting the okay from Ethiopian officials on the addition to their family with a sweet - UBER sweet - child name Chaltu. It became one of those yes/no/yes/no situations. "Chally" was lifted up to the Lord many times...and God answered. He answered in such a positive way that not only gave Chally a life filled with hope here, but more so, gave Heather's family a whole new look at the Savior. What better way to know Jesus than through one of His little children?
Adoption is an incredible answer - a blessing -both for couples looking to become a family, and to families looking to give of themselves. Chally is proof of the blessing...she is a blessing. I've no idea as to how to begin the process of adding through adoption in this way, but if you are interested I can certainly point you to Heather. She knows the joys of how the Lord is so ready and willing to place His little ones with families ready to share their love.

Thank you so much, Bunny! What a sweet sweet post! Really, your kind words mean so much to me!
If you (or anyone) wants to read the back story... the nitty gritty sometimes emotionally raw part of the story (because some parts were sooo discouraging and depressing), you can read it at my Ethiopian Adoption Blog on this website: http://www.dawnofmotherhood.com
