A New Journey...

Since Tracie and I got married we have talked and prayed about something close to our hearts...adoption.  We've known we wanted to adopt, but didn't know when or how we would begin.  After we had our third child and found out Tracie couldn't have any more (for health reasons) we decided to begin to pray and consider when we should embark on this journey.  Well, we believe it is time and we have begun the process of adoption!  We will be adopting from Ethiopia, using the agency All God's Children.  My wife has started a blog to chronicle this next chapter of our story at Ancelet Adoption.  I will also share here.  This journey has already had a profound impact on me personally and it's hard to put into words.  There is excitement, fear, hope, burden, joy, dependency, and we've only just begun.  As we walk this road and awaken more deeply to God's heart I look forward to sharing here in hopes that it is a blessing and encouragement.
