'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!

Whitfield Family Expansion Project – Update

Our family is expanding in an unexpected way. Low and behold, and much to our surprise, joy, thanks, and praise, we’re pregnant! We will be welcoming our little one in April 2010! We went to the doctor last week and confirmed that things are progressing well.

Now, to be clear: we are still very much dedicated to adopting our Ethiopian children. Of course, these plans will have to wait just a bit. We spoke with our Gladney case worker and we can re-enter the adoption process when this new addition of ours is 9 months old. Then, we will jump back in with both feet!

So, not long from now, we hope to have a pretty full house!

We are so happy to be blessed in so many ways! Thank you for everything you have done for us, for your love and support.

Love, Alli and Josh
