After a mission trip to Honduras, the word "orphan" is no longer just a word to our family. It means a precious, valuable child of God who is all alone in the world. Our family feels blessed that God has opened our eyes to the needs of other children around the world. We originally had wanted to adopt from Honduras, but after those doors shut, we feel God led us directly to our Ellie. Ellie is in Congo. She is around one and has some special needs. We can&'t wait to get her home and start loving on her and getting her whatever help she needs. God is good.
