A courtdate for Atsede!

Though we cannot overreact yet (is a bottle of champagne too much?), we are happy to say that the ball is still rolling! It was beginning to feel like things were stuck for the last couple weeks. Atsede's court date is Thursday, April 1st. Two day (more)...

Welcome To Our Journal

Join us as we continue on with God's calling on our lives...in the adoption of two more children from Ethiopia. We expect it to be a wild ride, so hold on to your seats.

If you are interested in supporting our adoption, please go to www.justlovecoffee.com/phillips to buy a bag (or two) of coffee! We get 30% back to help with our adoption expenses! Thanks!

What we believe:

We are convinced that adoption is very near to God’s heart. On one
level, it is the selfish construction of a family and a home full of
life: bumps and bruises, squealing and laughter. On another
level it is the very work of God, throwing one's whole self into an
effort that promises nothing in return. It is the commitment to
unconditionally love, in a space void of that love. It is one
expression of what we are to be about in the world as Christians.

Our Child

Birth Place: Ethiopia Agency: Adoption Advocates International We will be adopting TWO children from Ethiopia. Atsede is a girl and is 6 years old. Matias Geleta is a boy and he is about 6 mos. old.
