We are ADOPTING! For some this may be a huge surprise but this is something Ethan and I (Aleta) have been praying about for a few years and has been in the works for about 6 months. We are adopting from the country of Ecuador in South America. We are open to a special needs child. Adoption is time consuming and costly. We would love for our friends and family to first be praying for us. Please pray for our marriage, our children, and the child we anticipate to adopt.
Please share and give as you are able. We are truly so thankful for our village because it truly does take a village! -Ethan, Aleta, Eliana, and Elias
Here’s an update on where we are on our funding and some praise and prayer requests
We received our I800a approval today! We are so thankful and excited to be moving on to the next step. Now we submit our “dossier” to the Ecuadorian government. We are so thankful for everyone’s continued prayer and support.

Would you please join us in praying for our I800-A approval letter to arrive soon.
We sent everything off in early July. This has been a long, hard wait! Continue to pray for us as we wait, that we would trust the Lord's timing.
Thank you,
Ethan and Aleta
We recently had our I800A fingerprints done! All went well. Unfortunately we were told this approval time is quite behind. Would you join us in praying for a quick turn around in receiving our approval letter?
Our Home Study is COMPLETE!!!
We will be sending out citizenship and immigration forms later this week!
Thank you for your continued support and prayer!
-Ethan and Aleta
