WE ARE GOING TO AFRICA!!!!

After almost a year and half of waiting we found out this evening that in 19 days we will be in Liberia to get our son!! It almost feels surreal. We will be arriving in Liberia on September 16th. What is so cool about that is that God has worked this all out so that Alan and I will be in Africa on out 15th wedding anniversary. Who would of thought 15 years ago that we would be celebrating our 15th anniversary in Africa with our new son? I'm so glad that God is in control of all of this. What a way to celebrate! God has given us a precious gift.

As ecstatic as we are, we still have the reality of the shortage of financial resources to face. Please pray for a financial miracle. We have had a tremendous response with our one dollar adoption fundraiser. http://thekettelkamps.onedollaradoption.com Many people have been quite generous on Kenneth's behalf and we are touched deeply by their generosity. But we are still in need of quite a bit before we reach our goal. Supporting Kenneth after he is here is not a problem, it is coming up with a large sum of money to complete our adoption that is the issue. Please pray and share our link with anyone you can.

We are so blessed to be able to share this journey with each of you. I know that it would be quite a dull trip if we didn't have all of you along side us cheering us on and at times holding us up. I thank God for all of you!!
