Well--- a new direction

After much deliberation and weighing of options, and recognition of reality and prayer..... we have decided to switch countries. We are now pursuing an adoption from Ethiopia.

Details to follow........ but if you google Gladney Center.... you'll get the agency that we are partering with through CAS........ it's complicated (what in this process is not?!?!)

When? don't know and I'm not saying. It will happen when it will and you'll know with enough time to spare. After our loss of yingling..... I'm not ready to set up any sort of expectations of a timeline.

The Ethiopia program through CAS/Gladney is smaller, and Gladney op[erates an orphange in Addis Ababa with a 2 to 1 ratio........ great!

More later

I would like to propose a name for Ethiopian Baby Laucher (at least to call him/her until you bring him/her home with the name you pick): Lishan. It is Ethiopian for "award" and I know how rewarding bringing this baby home is really going to be for you guys. I am so inspired by your courage and perseverance in "keeping your eyes on the prize." I can't wait until the arrival of baby Lishan! :) (Does the name stick?)

Love you guys!
