Katie,

How can we pray for your family and this little boy (& sister)? Your message touched my heart. The LORD has placed a similar desire within our hearts. Now, I am wondering how the LORD is working in your life. Is this little boy with a family?

Blessings,
Emily

Katie,
I have been thinking and thinking about you so much but have not reached out since I left. I know its been forever. I am so happy to see that you have finally gotten your gift. It seems that things are going well for you guys. Congrats. Keep on praying, and if God tells you to embrace these other kids, you can do it. I know you know that already.

I think God defaintly has good plans for you, and that everything is going to work out just right! Growing up I remember always hearing the saying, “the Lord works in mysterious ways” but never truly understanding until i got older and experianced how He truly did work in a mysterious, and amazing way! By reading your post, its obvious theat you and this child had a deep connection. Like i said, God defaintly has good plans for you. I have no doubt about it. You’ll be in my prayers, hon.

May God give you peace and understanding.

I am not in the world of adoption, and to be honest have never seriously considered the process until this morning. I’ve always had a desire to save children from the sex slave trade but did not know how. I woke up this morning with the idea of adoption. (pray for me)
So, I got on-line and just started to look and run across your story. I am deeply moved and appreciate the fact that someone else shares the same fears. I thank God for your honesty.
I know that I am not alone:)
Your story gives me courage and faith.
Thank you

I have followed along on your journey and saw your recent post on AAI’s forum and have often asked myself what if when we travel to pick up our baby, we meet another child we feel in our hearts should be a part of the family what would we do. The thought is terrifying, to be honest. You begin to ask yourself about finances, how would the new baby feel, what about the reaction of friends, family. You are in the reality of such a situation. Your post is so moving, clearly you care deeply about this boy and his sister and have gone beyond just a promise by taking action and trying to find a family for them. May God light your way and lead you on your journey.

Hello,
I don’ even know where to start. I am crying my eyes out! I can hardly see the computer. :o)

This message has just confirmed what We need to do, we know what God wants us to do. We were just about to give up on our adoption.
Thank you for re-inspiring us to keep on tract and not grow weary. Thank you, Thank you.

May God give you countless blessings and may He provide for those kids in Ethiopia a Father and a Mother. The money? well he can provide that too, He owns it all. :o)

Four years ago at the beginning of my second adoption journey a child’s photo in a wating children’s booklet kept calling me back. As a single mom I wasn’t sure I could serve his needs. I mentioned this to a good friend of mine. She told me that if this child kept calling me back there was something there and I should pursue adopting him. God was speaking through her. It wasn’t an easy journey. The story in a nutsehll: I lost him due to politics. Pursued another child and lost him. Meanwhile I prayed that the child I lost would get what he needed. Then my son became available again. I was approved for him and went through the process and lost my job just before travel. I stepped out on faith and trusted God to bring my son home. He is here in the room today on the brink of having one of many surgeries he needs. God has provided. Is he speaking to you? It sounds like you should bring this boy and his sister home. God will help you find what you need to make it work. Trust in Him. All the best to you and your family.

Katie,
I was extremely moved by your message and wish you only the best of luck exploring the possibility of adopting these older children. They are fortunate to have met you and that you are a part of their lives in any way. I hope that everything works out well with you and the little ones you connected with while bringing your son home.
