Modern Day Jameses

Before we were blessed with Eloise, we were praying about possibly adopting a baby. We spent a lot of time in prayer and in research (some of you unfortunate, patient souls were the recipients of my MANY emails and questions).

For some reason, we weren't able to progress forward in adopting our
fourth. However, many of our friends have been blessed with the amazing opportunity to adopt and I wanted to highlight four more families tonight. Following each of your journeys has been SUCH a huge encouragement in my life!

I call them "Modern Day Jameses" based on the first part of James 1:27
... Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.

The Alipuria Family
Our friends, Alexis and Manoj, adopted two
precious children from Ethiopia, Micah & Ellis.

The Schweizer Family
Our friends, Aaron and Minda, adopted
their beautiful son (Asher) from Ethiopia.

The Michaelian Family

Our friends, Dave and Heidi, adopted
their little cutie (Zeke) from Rwanda.

The Bergman Family
Our friends, Tony and Jill, adopted sweet Jade from China
and two beautiful girls (Kidist & Tigist) from Ethiopia.

Are any of you in the process of adopting? If so, let us know ... we'd love to pray for you and to give, whenever able, towards your financial needs.

Yes, the Loves are in the process of adopting and we could use your prayers. Thank you! Your blog post... seeing all the pictures of the adopted families was very encouraging and a blessing.
