My Disclaimer: I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE so please bare with me and thank you for your patience.
I am not sure if anyone will read this (except for my husband because he is required to by marriage) but a few people have mentioned that a blog might be a way to update people on our adoption. I truly appreciate any of you who may indulge me by reading this.
Let me explain to you why I chose my user name Undone; it is simple really, I chose it merely because it describes perfectly what has happened to me as we have started to walk this road with God. In the first few weeks after we felt that God was calling us to adopt I was quite frankly a WRECK! Whenever I was alone, which is not often considering I have 4 children, I would cry whenever I thought of adoption. Most of you are thinking I would cry too if God was calling me to adopt, which I understand but I was not crying at the thought of more children to care for, I was just crying, unexplainably. I can not explain it, except that I was undone. Isaiah speaks about being undone in chapter 6 after seeing the Lord of Hosts, we are all undone as we witness our Savior.
For those of you who don't already know we are planning to adopt two sisters from Ethiopia. They are between the ages of 10 and 12 (accurate birth dates are not a priority in Ethiopia) and the oldest is deaf and mute. Their names are Eyerus and Tsinat and they are beautiful. We are just now completing our home study, in the next few weeks we pray to have it completely done. We are currently waiting on the background checks, apparently DSS is running behind. We pray our paperwork makes it to the top.
I will write more soon. May God bless you all.
Over the moon excited for your family! Praying you through this journey! Can't wait for them to finally be home.
