Surprise! One more daughter from Ethiopia!

We have been so blessed by our daughter, Bethlehem, whom we adopted in 2010. She is a bright, funny, engaging daughter who loves God! She has adapted to our family and is making friends at school and church. We love the fact that God's plan included Bethlehem in our family.

In mid-September some friends, Brian & Jan Rodenbeck, mentioned another little girl (she is 7) who is at the same orphanage and is waiting for a family.  We had some interest right away in the possibility and began praying. After talking to YWAM Adoption Ministry of Ethiopia and talking and praying as a family, we believed God was leading us to ask to adopt her.

So, here we are, leaning on the Everlasting Arms! We are really excited to welcome this dear child into our lives and home. We are presently awaiting a formal referral from YWAM & CHI. We covet your prayer support that God will open the doors as He wills. 

After a formal referral is made to us to adopt her, we will be setting up an account with YWAM Adoption Ministry to help us fund the adoption. You can also keep up with our adoption on the Kennington Adoption page on Facebook.

Thank you for your prayers!

Jim, Jaci, & Bethlehem Kennington
