Today we are sending the kids off to different neighbors houses for the weekend. Tom and I are headed to Montana for the weekend. Tom' dad passed away the end of March and has requested Montana as his final resting place. We went back to IN. over spring break to take care of his apartment and belongings there. Now we are going to Montana for a private Memorial Service. The kids are looking forward to the two nights of sleep overs. We will all get back together late Sunday night.

We added in youth sizes on the sizing info on the left for our t-shirt fundraiser. Somehow they got missed when we set this all up. We have 2T, 4T, youth small, medium, large, ladies cuts, and unisex adult t-shirts.
Thank you for your support and prayers.

Good Morning Laughner's,
We are blessed to know such wonderful, caring people such as yourself. God defintely knew what He was doing when He made your family. All of you have a heart of gold and I thank the Lord for sharing your friendship with me. I would like to share your page with the OIT if that is ok with you. I am sure many would be excited to follow along on your journey as I am. I can't wait to read about the girls excitement along the way. I wish I could be one of them. :-) God will give you just the right special child that needs your love. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God has truly Blessed you! Forever Friends, reevessuccess

Reunions (Tom)

The primary reason we made this trip to Ethiopia was to have Daniel and Tamenech meet their birth families as well as learn the culture and history of their native countries. In order to start the process, we hired a gentleman who we've known for many years to find them. Yonas has helped numerous adoptees find their birth families, so we were excited to learn what he could find. We sent him all of the information we had and he started his work. In short time, he had located everyone. Tamenech's family is from Sidama, a territory in the southern part of the country. They live in traditional huts in a  vlllage with no running water or electricity. We knew Tamenech had grandparents and at least one sibling. Yonas reported after a visit that Tamenech's grandfather had passed, along with one brother. Her grandmother was still around, as well as a sister (who had just gotten married in an arranged marriage).  Daniel's mother had moved to Beirut shortly after he was born, whic...

Today at 4:25 the call came.... It is 4:25 I was sitting out by the pool just getting ready to get in. The neighbor had just left and my kids were swimming. I sit on the edge to slide in and just then the phone rings. I think I will see who it is, but I am not going to answer it. It says 703.... oh my I think that is America World, I start crying. I answer the phone and it is Terra she asked me how I was, I ask is this "the call" she says yes... I am yelling at the kids get out of the pool, on the deck, no off the deck, close up the pool, it's "the call" I am just crying and going crazy! The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som...
