But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.

Ian and Brittany Bentley

We are the parents of two biological boys and are in the final stages of adopting a little girl from Ethiopia.

From an early age, Brittany has wanted to adopt and over the past couple of years God has been breaking her heart for the orphan. Ian was open to the idea but wasn't sure that the timing was right for their family. Through a lot of prayer and patience God has shown us His heart for the orphan and led us to adopt from Ethiopia.

We believe that adoption is a vivid picture of the perfect love and grace of God. God gives us the opportunity to be adopted into his family. Jesus came when we were helpless. He brought back our empty lives. He redeemed our sins and gave us His name. He gives us His pledge of inheritance. It is because of this love that we have been compelled to adopt a child into our family. We believe that God's perfect hand of providence will bring this child to us.

Brittany serves as the Marketing Director and Graphic Designer for GCOA.
