4 months


Another month down!!! Hopefully 4 months means we're somewhere around half-way through the wait to see our baby. Yay! Right now we're #10 for girls, #8 for boys, and #5 for either gender, so that makes us #21. Not many referrals this month, and I'm trying to find out why that is, but for now there's nothing to do but be patient and trust.


It's been a little bit of a chaotic month, full of uncertainties, but I feel like we're pulling out of that into a period of being able to relax a little and just be excited about this baby. People tell you at the beginning of the process that no adoption story is straight forward, but that they are more often than not full of unexpected obstructions and stressors. I believe them now :)

It was awesome!!
Young Life pursues un-churched, lost high-school kids. All these kids are being loved on by college-aged Christians. All these kids heard the Gospel that night, and they do every week!!!

Hi Emi!! I just saw a story on ShowHope of a family who just adopted from Ethiopia. I thought of you immediately and was excited to see that their process, from paper work to travel was 9 months! Shocking.

I hope you get a referral very soon!

hey! I found your blog through a friend and fell in love with your adoption story. My husband and I went through two years of infertility so we know your ACHE for your baby! I just saw that you work with teen moms in wilmington. My sister in law is a teen mom who lives in wilmington who is starting a support group for other teen moms. I would love to hook you two up. Send me a message if you are interested!
