AMAZING!

Remember our friends that visited us last summer from Galesburg, IL?
Brad and Tara were adopting Jacob at the same time we were adopting Sam. We spent a week with them in Addis Abba, Brad and Tara actually spent almost 2 months (!!) in Ethiopia waiting to bring Jacob home.

They would spend everyday at the Transition Home (orphanage) with Jacob, Sam and all the other kids. Brad is a Jr. High counselor and Tara is a reading specialist and coach so they connected really well with the older kids. One 10 year old boy in particular spent all his time with Brad. They read books and played soccer etc. They had such a special bond.... Brad and Tara even requested information about adopting him but were told no.

Fast forward to this past month.

We love the Mowen family and it's a joy to watch God expand their family!
