'Tis a gift to be simple. Yet, somehow things are never simple in the Whitfield household. We have made the decision to adopt a child (or two!) from Ethiopia. Please check our blog from time to time for the latest in our adoption journey. Your prayers and support are always welcome!

167,647.50 Birr! WHOA!


In US dollars that’s $15,000! Sounds like a lot, and indeed it is! We’re not daunted though. While on the waitlist, we’re in full fundraising mode. We’re selling shirts next week at our church festival, applying for grants (rejected by two so far but still applying!), and pinching pennies all over the place! We're hopeful it’ll all come together, but we ask your prayers. If you have any ideas, let us know! Thanks to all who have helped us out financially so far! We have been so blessed by you all!
