Even though we are adopting domestic vs international…there is not a day that goes by that Ethiopia is not on my heart. My heart is constantly stirring over the need there is to give those orphans homes. Ethiopia is such a wonderful place with beautiful people. I know it will never be lifted off my heart until we adopt from there. I know everything happens for a reason and I really do feel the timing wasn’t right for us, but it’s still a struggle when your eyes are open to something so devastating. There are days I feel guilty. I feel we turned our backs on those children. We tried that process several times and every time we would start something would come up…so we took that as a sign. Maybe God knew we weren’t quite ready for it…He knows what we can handle :) However, we know “orphans are orphans” no matter where they are and we are so excited to bring out little one home.
It’s funny how much everything has changed since we started talking about adoption. We 100% were adopting from Ethiopia. We had no interest in domestic. Too many risks we thought. We didn’t want the birth mom to change her mind. Well, here we are…so excited to be matched with a birth mom. Sometimes we have to put aside what we “want” for what we are called to do :)
Have a great weekend....
