The time has come....
























As most of you are aware, adoption has been a sizable part of our life for the past 18 months. The wait has been long.... But now the time has drawn near for us to go get our girl!

Rach and I feel compelled to do our best to share with you this experience as much as possible over the upcoming weeks.   We not only intend to share with you the emotions and steps of bringing our baby home, but we also hope to share with you some of the things we have learned as we have walked through this terrific experience. 

With that in mind you should know the computer situation is sketchy at best in Ethiopia so you all will experience one of two things:  

Daily updates during our trip. 

Or......

One monstrous post when we return!!

We both hope that it is the former as we want you to share in this with us. 

Our boys have been the excitement in our house as we have waited for our precious little girl. As we have waited, we have became more and more convinced that Rayne will make our lives richer.   

While the pictures and the process are as much as we have had up to this point...

We feel richer.... All of us.......

More to come.....

  3. Cool! I was talking to Brian Barker of all people over the weekend and mentioned to him that you and Rachel were adopting which got me to thinking isn't it about time you should have her? So exciting to hear it is finally going to happen!
