Adoption FAQs, Part 4

What is a realistic timeline for the adoption?

In God's perfect providence, adoption comes without a due date.  This makes us greatly desire your prayers for our hearts to trust deeply in our Heavenly Father's timing for this process.  We ache for our family to be united, and pray daily for our son, knowing that he may already be waiting for us, as well.  But we trust in the Lord's plan for our family which is much larger than us, and we praise Him that He graciously includes us in His work.

You may still be wondering whether we are preparing for our baby to come home next week or four years from now.  Based on our agency's past experiences with Ethiopian adoptions, we expect that we may be traveling to Ethiopia sometime next spring or early summer.  However, the trip could happen earlier or later than expected.
