OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: Conversation With Elijah

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.

Conversation With Elijah

I licked my finger and wiped the remnants of chocolate off Elijah's mouth as we were heading out the door. He scrunched his face and said, "What was that?"
Me: It's my special cleaning agent.
Elijah: Was it from your lips?
Me: Yes.
Elijah: Oooohhh, I'm not doing that! You wear makeup!

Me: I'll make a note of that. (I guess my special cleaning agent is only for messy little girl faces!)
