F.W. Area Ethiopian Support Group
I just returned from the very first meeting of the newly formed F.W. area Ethiopian adoption support group. I am so thankful for the resource and connection this will be for so many families.

Journey to Adoption: Not for the Faint of Heart
We received a referral for a sibling set about two weeks ago. What began with much excitement and anticipation ended with sadness as we let the referral go. It was not the right match for our family. Thank you to our sweet, faithful friends and family who have kept us in your prayers and helped us find discernment. We begin our wait again confident that all things will work together for the good.

Wild Wednesday
When I checked my e-mail this morning I found two urgent messages re: the need to quickly find homes for up to 300 Haitian orphans. They desired families that had already completed a background check which pointed to qualified foster families and adoptive families. Our hearts instantly went out and we quickly made the decision that we would make room, but we didn't want to compromise our current Ethiopian plans. After some checking, we learned that we probably could do both, but as it turned out the plane of sweet Haitians needing families never came and the state of IN is uncertain if it ever will. Also, the urgent need became less urgent as close to 1000 Hoosier families stepped up to the plate to offer their hearts and homes! Safe-Families says they are ready if and when the need becomes a reality.
