We are Bill and Amy Michaletz and have five children—Jenny, Jack, Joe, Nate and Ellie. We are adopting two sisters (4 and 5 years old) from Lithuania and are thrilled to be on this journey! We have both traveled to Ethiopia to serve in orphanages, including a teen orphanage and a HIV+ orphanage. When we met the precious children living there, we saw each one of them as a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made—each child with potential and uniqueness, each with a name, their own story and each with worth. Not a statistic, but a child. We see our girls as just that—not just two of the 147 million orphans, but two precious girls. Two girls that God sees as just as special as all of our kids. Two girls, who despite their "codes" for their "disabilities" have so much to offer a family—the beauty of seeing a child truly blossom and become the work of art God designed them to be. Two girls whose special needs are not a list of diagnoses and codes, but the special needs God sees them having—-the need for a family. We thank you for your support—especially your prayers as we journey to bring our girls home!
