Rocky and I are very proud to announce we will soon have 2 new additions to the family. We began the adoption process in January and are hoping to soon have a picture of our son from Ethiopia. (Please see videos below) We hope that by this fall we will be able to travel to Africa to get him. I have always wanted to adopt. I am so thankful that God chooses to adopt us into his family when we trust in Jesus Christ and I feel the adoption of a child into a family is a beautiful picture of this. When Rocky and I began to pursue pregnancy, a short time after we decided to also pursue adoption. After thinking long and hard, we chose Ethiopia. Why? There are currently 4 to 5 million orphans in Ethiopia. By 2012 50 percent of children will be orphans. This is a huge crises and because we are able, we wanted to give a home to a child with parents who will love him so much.
We also are excited to announce that in addition to blessing us with a child through adoption, after about a year of pursuing pregnancy God in his perfect timing has blessed us with a biological child. We are 6 wks. pregnant. Above is a picture taken today of our little peanut. (He/she is the little thing that looks like a cocoon)
Please pray for us as we have a very exciting journey ahead :)

Blog Content Update- FAIL
all right, Suzanne. It's been nigh onto a year, and Brady is BORN. High time to update your blog.
Over a year plus without new content. Blogging Epic Fail
Suzanne, Kelli Bishop sent me the link to your blog because my husband and I just turned in our application to adopt from Ethiopia. I'd love to chat more about how the process was for you - jennphilpot@gmail.com if you get the chance. Thank you!
Beautiful blog. I wanted to introduce you to an orphan/adoption/foster prayer website I developed recently.
