I follow the blogs of several families who are adopting from Ethiopia. We don't know if this is something God is calling our family to, but we know He is calling us to pray for them. For those of you who are unfamiliar with international adoption, it's such an amazing journey for families who go through it. American World Adoption Association is the program I follow. This particular association has programs through China, India, Rwanda, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Ethiopia. Many of you probably know about Steven Curtis Chapman and his two daughters from China. One of them was recently killed in an automobile accident. The Chapman family went through American World for their daughters. From DeRidder, Pam Graves Beadle and her husband Shawn adopted Kailyn from China.

The Blackwell family from Missouri is adopting a little girl from Ethiopia and will be traveling this weekend to pick her up. They passed court, which is a major milestone, and Rahel "Rae" is officially and legally their daughter. Jump on over to their website and check out the sweet video of them introducing their new daughter.
