Sacrifice

Well, we received word today that Agegnehu was placed with another family. Although we knew that we didn't have much of a chance in getting him, we still were excited about the possibility of getting a child so soon. However, we know that God placed him with a family that is best suited to meet his needs (whatever they may be). Please continue to pray for Agegnehu and his new family and the exciting future that they are about to begin together.

So, as for the Sutliff family, we will continue to be in a holding pattern while we wait for our Dossier to get translated. We feel that we are ready to receive our referral and begin the final part of the adoption process. The unknown is exciting, thrilling, overwhelming and scary all at the same time ~ however, looking into the future and seeing hope in the eyes of a little child makes the sacrifices all seem so trivial.

Please don't ever forget that all over this world there are little children that are being abandoned, orphaned, abused and just plain not wanted and that you can help. Whether it is through adoption, sponsorship, donations, education and/or prayer, everyone has the ability to make a difference. It starts with one...a sacrifice is still a sacrifice, no matter how big or small.
