About Us

Hello,

My name is Felicia Jordan and I am married to my amazing husband Barry Jordan. I started this blog as a way to document our process through the journey of adoption. Adoption is something that has been very near and dear to my heart since I was in high school. I felt God calling to adopt at a very young age. When I met my husband, it was a main topic of conversation throughout our dating and beginning years of marriage.

Last February we decided to begin the process of adoption. We researched agencies, spoke with couples who had adopted, and received referrals of various agencies. When we finally landed upon an agency that we felt would fit our family we filled out an application.



Fast Forward to today. It's been over a year since we filed our application and we have thankfully made some progress. In December we were  matched with a little boy. He is currently 7 months old, he lives in Ethiopia, and he has the best smile.

We are not sure when we will get to go meet him or bring him home. We do know that the Lord is so good, and he will make everything come together in His perfect timing. We are hoping to travel to Ethiopia sometime in the late summer/early fall but everything is very much up in the air.
Adoption takes time, and it requires an abundance of patience.

Right now we are waiting for the U.S. government to read through all of our paperwork, approve, and then send it along to Ethiopia for their government to do the same thing. This process can take anywhere from 12-24 weeks (or more).  As you can see, patience is the key here.

We hope this will be a place for those who are interested to follow us on this journey. We will try to keep you updated as much as possible.

*Disclaimer: Due to the fact that this is the Internet some posts may be vague/some details may be left out. It is not that we are trying to hide anything, it is just to protect our agency, our child, and anyone else involved in the process.
