We are excited to announce that we are adopting again! From Uganda!
Where to begin? Shortly (within weeks) after returning from Ethiopia with Luke, we started to feel God begin to put the country of Uganda on our hearts. We started reading/hearing about it all over the place as God truly opened our eyes to the needs there. Although the timing was sooner than we anticipated, we are thrilled to begin this journey of adoption again. I think our time in Ethiopia had a big impact on this decision too. We stayed at a guest house with several other adoptive families, most of whom were bringing home sibling groups and older kids. I cannot tell you how inspiring it was. All I could think was "We can do more. We need to do more."
Many who have gone before us in Ugandan adoptions have done so without using an agency, so we have decided to do the same. We are having our home study updated, and working directly with a baby home (orphanage) and lawyer in Uganda. A little scary but I feel like we have good resources to help us figure things out as we go.
So that's our news! Please keep us in your prayers. I will try to keep the blog updated as we know more!
