Dufries...party of 5!

We have BIG news to share with you! We are expanding our family to five. I know you are probably thinking..."Wow, Amber is pregnant again!"..but I'm not pregnant. Todd and I have decided to ADOPT a precious child from the country of Ethiopia in Africa!!! We received a phone call on Thursday, September 30th with the incredible news that America World Adoption Agency (AWAA) has accepted us into their adoption program. WE ARE THRILLED! We have requested a child in the age range of 2-24 months old. We did not specify a gender so we could be receiving a little boy or girl.




It is going to be a long road...one that is going to require us to trust in the Lord daily, pray diligently without ceasing, patiently wait for HIS timing, and lean on our family and friends for support. It is estimated that adopting a child from Ethiopia takes anywhere from 9-18 months from start to finish, so hopefully we will have our precious child in our arms by the end of 2011. I am going to be "blogging" through it all so that you can stay informed and know how to pray for us and support us on our journey to bring our child home from Ethiopia.
