WE HAVE OUR ANSWER!!!!

Well, God gave us our answer by closing all the doors and leaving one wide open.

This morning we were told that Korea would only approve us for special needs children, which is something that we are not ready for.

Domestic adoption was another option. Dan 'happened' to call Jan today to figure out where we were in the approval process and there 'happened' to be a domestic infant adoption meeting tonight. During the meeting they stated that most birthparents chose open or semi-open adoption (that means that there is contact with the birthparents including monthly visits, phone calls, letter etc.). Bethany only had 3 closed adoptions last year and those were what they call "safe" babies which are babies that are taken away from the mother because the mother is unfit to raise the child due to drugs, alcohol or a mental condition.

So, Dan and I looked at each other during the meeting and said, "We have our answer."

ETHIOPIA!!!

We cannot tell you how excited we are to have a direction that God has pointed us to. Thank you everyone for your prayers!
