Ethiopia Adoption Project
January 16, 2008One of my closest friends is in the process of adopting a baby girl from Ethiopia.
Now take a second…drink that in….
My friend isn’t some celebrity with tons of money, she doesn’t just have $30,000 in her back pocket, or decided one day “hey, I think I’ll adopt a baby today!” She’s a REAL person who just wants to open her home to a baby who otherwise would grow up and have nothing. Africa is her heart’s cry and she’s even already named her sweet baby who she’s never seen before.
Adoption is a close issue for me that I’ve experienced first hand with within my own family. I know not everyone can open their home and adopt, but we certainly can support those who do!
So this blog post is totally a plug for my friend. Check out her blog, read her stories, say a prayer for her, buy a shirt that she’s selling to raise money. There are tons of ways to help her and even someone you know who is in the adoption process. Even just leaving her a comment on her blog would mean the world to her and to me. You’re a stranger to her, but so is that little girl from Ethiopia…and she already has a place in our hearts!
