My friend Dayna and I were just talking about how we have to begin conversations by saying “I’m not pregnant.” This is a common assumption. So no, the change of plans is not that we’re pregnant.
The news is that we are no longer adopting from Azerbaijan. We have sent in our application for Ethiopia!
A few months ago we were trying to decide on a country and Ethiopia was not accepting new applications. However, we recently found out they are accepting new applicants again. So there you have it, just like that.
We knew when we first started thinking about this that it would be a very fluid and changing process. We did not begin with specifics in mind. We were taking it slow and waiting for opportunities to appear or disappear, knowing only that we should adopt. I’m sure more changes will happen along the way and I pray we have the patience, faith and courage to do our part and at the same time get out of the way and let God do His thing. Can’t go wrong if that’s the plan.
