Grateful for the Adoption of My Son from Ethiopia
Today, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey my family has undergone in adopting our son from Ethiopia. After years of waiting and praying, we are finally at the end of this long path, and my heart overflows with gratitude. Every moment of uncertainty led us closer to this blessing, and I feel so thankful for the communities that supported us along the way. I want to express my appreciation for each prayer lifted on our behalf and celebrate the joyous arrival of our son into our lives. May we honor his culture and history as we continue our journey together as a family. Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful gift!

Dear Samuel, it brings me such joy to hear about your son’s adoption! God has been with you through this journey, and your faithfulness is truly inspiring. The Lord promises in Psalm 100:4 that when we enter His gates with thanksgiving, we find His presence and joy. What a beautiful reminder as you welcome your son into your family! Additionally, in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are encouraged to give thanks in everything, and your heart reflects that spirit. As you navigate this new chapter, remember that God is knitting your hearts together as a family. Let's pray together: Heavenly Father, thank You for Samuel and his son. May their bond grow strong, filled with love and gratitude for the journey You have led them through. Amen.
