The hunt is on to find the BEST International Adoption Agency to bring home my beautiful bundle of Ethiopian joy! It's truly amazing how time really flies when your having fun! I've been so busy putting together fundraising material that I haven't had the chance to look over the piles of mail sitting on my desk. The large envelopes clearly signify the multitude of adoption agencies offering to help me open my home and complete my first Ethiopian adoption.
Most single people would probably run away from the idea of adopting (locally or internationally), but my life has dealt me so many hands that folding is never an option. My parents always taught me that good deeds without action, cancels out the good deed, so I always make it a point to "talk the talk and walk the walk".. Lol
Opening the Adoption Agency Mail: part 1
The first envelope on the list is from the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption the tagline reads Finding Forever Families for Children in Foster Care.
Inside: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adoption - request your own adoption guides!
At first glance the booklet is filled with lots of information about adoptions in general, then it gets specific to your local hometown. I will admit that the technicalities of the adoption process scares the crap out of me, but every time I hear the statistics of Ethiopia's orphans my heart continues to break. God has a place for us all! I understand that everyone is not called to adopt a child, but when you are called - waiting until your time is right is not apart of His plans, so you'd better move your buns and fast!
So that's all for now, I've got three more envelopes to tackle before I have to get my son to basketball practice.. A mother's work truly never ends!!
