With Great Joy...

With great joy and excitement,
we sent the following to our families this past week...
  

 

 
Since bringing Kaleb home, we have always known that Lord willing we would add to our family again.  We have been blessed that God chose us to raise Kaleb.  He truly is the sweetest blessing we ever could have imagined.  Ethiopia is an amazing country with beautiful people, an incredible history and tremendous need.  These past few weeks we've felt God confirm that another one will be waiting for us in Ethiopia.  
And, we're thrilled that God has again chosen us-again!  We are excited that Kaleb and his future little brother or sister will share the same homeland and cultural background.  And, best of all- we get to add another kiddo to our family, nothing can out-do the awesomeness of that!! 

That being said, just like they say no two kids or pregnancies are alike.  The same is true for adoptions.  This time around, we know it will take a lot longer.  Right now we're in the homestudy and paperwork phase of the process.  Once that is all done, it will be a long time- like, maybe Baby Roth II will get here in time for Kaleb's kindergarten graduation.  We realize that and know that God's got it all figured out.  And, we're alright with that.  Once our paperwork is done, we're going to sit back and enjoy life with our little man Kaleb.  We're going to live at the pool, go camping and make lots of memories.  And, then... when God's timing is right- He'll introduce us to our next little one.  

Right now, imagine that God has called our name.  So, we're getting in line. 
We know Baby Roth II will totally be worth the wait!  

In the meantime, please pray for us, our hearts while we wait and for God to lay the smoothest past possible for the journey that lies ahead.
