“It was a challenge to know there was a child who was potentially already born, but we couldn’t get to him or her,” Aaron Littmann shared. “But the Lord remained faithful.”  In March 2021, Aaron and his wife, Jane, were matched with their daughter, Nolitha. A year later, the Littmanns received approval, travel dates, and a court date. Three months before their travel date, though, they received a call from their agency.  “They originally told us we would be [in South Africa] for four to six weeks, but they were now telling us that we would instead be there for three to five month ..read more
