Our Heart is in Ethiopia
Well, we got the phone call tonight.
We were fully expecting a “No.” In fact, as we talked to the Committee representative, we still expected her to say no. It just sounded like it in her voice.
Until she said, “Congratulations.”
And our jaws dropped.
That’s right. Little Girl is ours!
We cannot post pictures or any other details about her at this point – not until the Ethiopian courts declare her to be ours. And that won’t happen for several months.
Somehow, I don’t think we’re going to get much sleep tonight.

Howdy. I'm Matt. My wife, Christy, and I have four kids and two dogs, I'm passionate about orphan care. I'm a die-hard fan of the Evansville Aces, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Star Wars. I'm trying to live life by the Todd family motto: "It behooves us to live!"
