I find adoption in general to be that way, especially to those who have not experienced it. I don't really know exactly why we were drawn to ET either, I just know we were, and it was God who led us there. We also thought about domestic adoption, but just knew it wasn't right...again, we can't really explain why.

Regardless of where we come from, we are all human and deserve the same love and needs. I love your love for Ethiopia. I think adoption is amazing and certainly a calling only from God. As patriotic as I am, I feel more about the body of Christ as a whole and more importantly as part of this world that God Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035339905202470568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302726612715192903.post-19355771164527560292009-04-13T16:26:00.000-07:002009-04-13T16:26:00.000-07:00Wow Jen, I completely relate to everything you jus...Wow Jen, I completely relate to everything you just wrote...I absolutely LOVE Ethiopia, and I have no idea why God drew us to that country in the first place.

(Unfortunately, they desire a concise one...which I'm still not capable of producing).
