Rudy and I (Katie) were married in 2003 and have two biological children; Lawson (5 ½ yrs old), and Eli (4 yrs old), and two adopted children from Ethiopia; Isabelle (2 yrs old) and Brooklyn (2 yrs old). During our adoption process God broke our hearts for the people of Ethiopia. We have started a non-profit organization called Because of Kennedy to serve the orphaned and vulnerable children and adults of Ethiopia by meeting their basic needs, while leading them in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Please visit our website to learn more: www.becauseofkennedy.org. In March 2011 Rudy was award a Fulbright Scholarship to teach and conduct research at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia for 10 months. In August 2011 we are moving our family to Ethiopia! We have created this blog so that you can join us on this journey.
