The 2008-2009 court season is over in Ethiopia.
The FBI has record of 92 families who passed court in the past year. 105 children who were (or will shortly be) placed with families. Even more Gladney families and more children that weren't tracked by the FBI.
This warms my heart.
The worldwide problem of children without families is not going to be solved by 92 Gladney families. Placing 105 children into US homes does not make life easier for the other millions around the world. There is no easy solution to finding the love, stability, and families these children deserve.
But this is a start. And I am proud to have been a part of it. Even in this small way.

Ephesians 1:4-6 (NLT)
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

Well said - thank you!
I can't wait to join the group of someone who had a child placed with her. Someday. :-D
Your child is beautiful by the way.

Thank you so much for keeping us all connected! It really means the world to all of us!
