Three of our fellow America World Families passed court today. Be sure to check out the
Moles Family, Cox family, and Ducumon Family blogs. There is a link on the left if you scroll down under America World Families. They have all posted pictures of their children and some videos. They will be traveling to Ethiopia on August 8th.

The Moles family will be taking a care package to Daniel. We sent a baby blanket that Grandma made. One side is jungle print and one side is our family picture. We also sent a baby photo album with family pictures. They will be hand delivering these items along with hugs and kisses to Daniel. They have also promised to take pictures and video of our little guy. As soon as we have our court date we can share those with you.

Please pray for safe travels for these families and please pray that Baby Daniel will be in our arms soon.
Love to all.

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

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
