I don’t know about you, but I get super excited when someone adopts! I mean, incarnationally excited, not just with words and voiced verbal affirmations… but my heart actually begins to beat faster, my eyes well with tears, and my palms become sweaty! As Christians, one of ways in which our fruit is seen is by outpouring love from our hearts, hands, and feet. No place is this better lived out than in the process of adoption.

My good friends “Mitch & Milly” or Michael and Kristyn to you… are returning today from Ethiopia, and they are not alone, in fact, they are with child… literally, they are bringing back their new son Tegegne or “T” as they have affectionately call him on their blog!

Michael and Kristyn are unbelievable people, the type of people that when you leave them you always feel as though you’ve touched the hem of Jesus’ cloak, just by being near them. And the process of their adoption has been a long one — full of obstacles, frustrations, joy, protection, and provision, and they have blogged about it… all of it, not just the rainbows and butterflies. So. If you have a moment, go check out their blog, and join me in congratulating them on the new addition to the family!!

Welcome Tegegne!! You’ve just inherited a bunch of Aunts & Uncles, don’t be overwhelmed by our excitement, we’re just a bunch of love-drunk souls… I blame the punch.
