"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you" James 1:27

We continue to believe strongly in adoption - this blog serves to tell of our journey and encourages all who read it to learn of and love the journey of adoption!

Rejoicing!

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn"  Romans 12:15

So many of our wonderful blog readers have mourned with us through the ups and downs of this adoption journey, and last night many of you came to rejoice with us - Thanks for coming!  It was great fun to share stories and pictures of Martha and Ethiopia with you and we just felt blessed to spend time with you!  We have been giving Thanks to God all day for the wonderful turnout and joy you shared with us.  Special Thanks to Ollie from "ChrisCakes" for a great job with the Pancake Dinner last night too!

For those of you not able to attend, we'd love to share some pictures!  Anna and Ellie did a fantastic job and we are proud of both of them and their hard work.  Martha has some beautiful role models in her big sisters!
