A sweet couple that I know (well, I don't know them that well, but they went to church with me in Tuscaloosa) is looking to adopt a beautiful baby boy from Ethiopia. This is a God given desire and something that they have been praying about for many months, and maybe even years. Adoption is expensive and they are a young couple. The husband is the middle school minister at our church in Tuscaloosa (and the son of our pastor) and the wife is a beautiful, sweet, loving, wife and student at UA. They are adopting through Lifeline here in Birmingham I believe (a Christian adoption agency), and are using a website suggested by Lifeline to raise money for their adoption process. This (fundraising) was not an easy choice for them to make (see a blog she has written), but they prayed about it and have decided to proceed this way and allow God's timing and provision in raising the money.
God is so good to lay it on the hearts of loving, kind, Christian couples to adopt. I am going to put the link to their blog and fundraising website. If anyone wants to help, I know that it is going to a family who will appreciate it more than words can say.

One day I hope to adopt a child, or two. I love to see a couple who has a heart to love the children who do not have earthly families to love on them!
