The Marshall Family

Aaron and Nichole Marshall live in Louisville, KY. They have always had a heart for adoption and spent nine months in South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2009. After they came back, they felt like God was wanting to grow their family through adoption. They started the process in February 2010 and received a referral for a 9 month old boy on June 30, 2011. They have to travel to Ethiopia twice to finalize everything and bring home their baby boy. In the process, Aaron & Nichole have also found out that they are 15 weeks pregnant. God truly has an amazing plan as He is growing the Marshall family and doubling in size by February of 2012. We love Africa, we love the idea of having a beautiful colorful family, and we love living an exciting story. On a much deeper level we see that adoption is a powerful illustration of the Gospel. God adopted us into His family through the ultimate sacrifice of His Son. This is key for us, we are rooting our motivation here. Obligation, duty, guilt, or emotion would never suffice. Out of the overflow of what God has done and continues doing for us, is our motivation for giving ourselves to a child in need. Please help us bring our little boy home from Ethiopia!!
