Paul and I decided to adopt recently, after dealing with infertility issues (for the second time). It’s a very difficult thing and going through it the first time (for 2 1/2 years) was bad and feltĀ a year and a half was long enough the second time around.
After much thought and prayers, we finally decided to look to Ethiopia, a country with a rich heritage and high needs. I’ll be updating our process as things go on and really look forward to posting a picture of our 4th (and final) child someday.
Hey Paul & Signe–
How very cool. We have some friends in IL who’ve adopted through Ethiopia a few years back…they wound up with a brother and sister, who were I think around 6 and 9 when they arrived.
I can’t tell when this post went ‘live’ (and this is my first time reading your blog, Signe), so I’m not sure how long you’ve been in the process, but I know it was fairly long and drawn out for them (which isn’t to say it wasn’t worth it or anything)…I hope things fall into place well for you!
Take care!
Karin
