Shopping for Daniel!

By -
The kids and I have been having fun picking things out for Daniel. Here are some of the goodies that are waiting on him.










The first picture is a blanket that Grandma made. One side is jungle print, the other side has our family picture on it. She made two blankets. One is in Ethiopia with the Moles Family being delivered to Daniel with a photo book. The other is here for when he comes home.
We are thinking that we should have a court date mid October and travel will be early November. We received our first email from the travel department of our agency. yeah!!! Please let us go get Daniel!

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...

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...
