My Story
I have desired to adopt for several years now, and am thrilled with the opportunity to adopt from Ethiopia through America World Adoption Agency, which I found while searching the adoption information on Steven Curtis Chapman's website. He and Mary Beth are among those who have been instrumental in my understanding of the miracle of adoption. I began the paperwork process in December 2007, and submitted my paperwork in May 2008. I hope to bring my daughter home early in 2009.
My purpose for becoming part of Running Hope is two-fold. First, in the waiting process for my daughter, I want to stay healthy. I also want to promote the need to advocate for the orphans of the world.
