Sweet News

We received wonderful news about Eli today. A family who is adopting a little girl through All God’s Children traveled last week to bring her home (Here is their blog). They live in the Indy area, and we hope to let our ET children keep in touch. They got to see Eli, and tell us a little about him. Here is what she wrote to us…

Hi Kristi...we just got back from Ethiopia on Friday! You are the very first email that I'm typing because I know how anxiously you must be waiting for word on your precious baby, Eli! He is a beautiful baby!

The special moms at HH are truly wonderful!!!!! They really do love the babies. Every day they take the babies out into the sunshine for a little while...talk with them, love on them. HH is an amazing place full of joy, love and hope. Almaz is incredible. Eli is in great hands until you are able to come to him!!!! I'm praying for you as you wait patiently for your very own travel dates.


God sent us this news came on a special day. Josh’s grandmother passed away this weekend, and today is the visitation, tomorrow the funeral. We will miss Granny very much, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Eli is great grandbaby #14!

Praying for you and the family during this time of grief. May you have a sense of God's comfort and may He strengthen you as you wait to bring Eli home!!! God is faithful and He WILL bring it to pass!
