Risking It All to Rescue Their Daughter from Sex Slave Trade

"So we fought to declare ... we are just a family that wants to adopt this child

and give her a home and love her ...

where she was going was going to take her life." - Missy

The rules in Ethiopia are that once your adoption is approved in court, you have to come back six weeks later to be able to take your child home with you. Missy and her husband, Mark, were thrilled when their adoption of their Ethiopian daughter was approved. Then they had to say goodbye for six weeks. They promised they would come back for her, even through she did not understand English. Then the unthinkable happened. They were told they would not be able to adopt her. What they discovered was someone was taking her into potential sex slavery. Hear Missy tell the harrowing true story of hiding out, having a bodyguard that would not take payment, and battling in court each day to bring their daughter home. Missy and Mark faced false accusations, illegal actions against them, fears of imprisonment in a third world country and concerns over their family’s safety. Hear the miraculous interventions of an unshakeable God in how this family escapes dire circumstances.
