The story continues...

*** Thursday, May 30 I speak with Mike from Childrens' House International. He doesn't seem to think there will be any problem with us beginning the Ethiopia program through their agency. He emails me the beginning paperwork. I wait to hear from YFC.
*** June 8 We decide to tell all of Mark' family at diner tonight our decision to adopt from Ethiopia. Linda is in tears by the time we are finished telling our story. She been praying for almost a year for how they can be involved financially in the plight of the orphan in ETHIOPIA. Isn't that unreal? God is SO GOOD.
***June 9 I receive a phone call from YFC. They are most concerned with the placement of children ages 2-9. Because our focus is on adopting a child younger than the age of two, we decide the YFC program is not an option for us. We are reassured about CHI as the YFC program director speaks very highly of the CHI program. She even tells me that the director of the CHI orphanage in Ethiopia is a believer and only employs believers to work in the orphanage. Praise God! We are on vacation, so we table working on the first stage paperwork until we get home.
