Zach turns 10 today. The many faces of Zach. He loves soccer. He loves babies. He is quirky and affectionate. He is also tough as nails. Happy Birthday!
Happy B-Day Zach. I am sorry your wait is getting longer. International adoption is so amazing, but it does come with hard times. You will make it to the finish line I promise and it will be wonderful!

I feel like the most blessed mom and wife in the world. I have four great kids, 19, 16, 12 and 4 who are just the right combination of fun and naugthy. Our youngest was adopted from Ethiopia in 2009. We are in the process of adopting again. We used Gladney the first time, and loved them. We are using YWAM/CHI and I could not love them more. I love everything that they stand for. I love how they minister to the orphans and the families adopting. Before we adopted we were the soft landing place for 6 newborns until the adults in their world figured out a plan for them. It has been an amazing faith journey. Can't wait to see Him reveal HIs plan for us.
