In September 2009 we felt the call to adopt a child from Ethiopia and we started the process. In October 2010 we were matched with 4 week old Mareto who was very ill and considered special needs. In January 2011 we traveled to Ethiopia to meet him for the first time and attend court. In February we returned for our embassy appointment and to finally bring him home. He was 4 1/2 months old. After being home 6 months he is completely healthy and been healed of each medical problem he came home with. This video is our journey to bring him home and into our family.

  • I read about your story on Baron Batch's blog. Praise the Lord for opening the doors He did for your family! What an adorable baby boy and an amazing story. I also really loved the Bible verses throughout the video. May Jesus bless your day!

  • @CRazz2234 Thank you so much! He is our greatest blessing! :)

  • Brings back so many memories. Do all have to travel to Ethiopia to attend court now, or was that your decision?

  • @scazxr Effective May 2010 all families adopting from Ethiopia have to attend court and then return 3-12 weeks later (or longer in some cases) for embassy. :)

see all

    Still, my heart tugs me towards Ethiopia...maybe one day. :)

    Blessings on your lovely family.
