OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: Do It For the Kids....

OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED

In the beginning, JD adamantly only wanted two children. I thought that four would be perfect. Once we caught God's vision of putting orphans into families, our plan was multiplied by God. We are currently blessed with 12 children; five biological, six adopted and one more waiting in Ethiopia. Our first adoption was from the U.S., the next three were from Liberia, West Africa, and our last two were from Ethiopia. We are supporting our 12th child in Ethiopia after her adoption could not pass court.

Do It For the Kids....

Please take a moment and sign the petition to keep adoptions open in Ethiopia. It doesn't matter if you've ever adopted or if you ever plan on adopting, it's just a simple statement that says THIS many Americans care about the orphans of Ethiopia and we want you to fix any corruption without shutting the door of adoption. So many lives depend on it!

And to accompany that urgent request, here's a few birthday photos. We had a great time eating as a family at Chili's. For obvious reasons, Chick Fil A is the fanciest restaurant that my children are accustomed to, so it was a nice treat for everyone. After that, we headed to Aunt Deb's house for cake and ice-cream; she even had a few friends that came for the event.

We are planning on having a father/son camp-out in honor of Ben's birthday in a month when it warms up a bit. He is very excited about the idea.

Happy Birthday again Ben!
