Update!

By -
Today we received an update about our son. Rachel from the transition house sent us a sweet update telling us more about Daniel and what he is doing. We also got two new adorable photos of him.

He was described as so adorable, light skin, big eyes and a great smile.

He is crawling all over and pulls himself up to a standing position using furniture. He has a big personality, is lots of fun, and loves to laugh and smile.

Daniel is a good sleeper. He wakes once a night for a bottle and takes two naps a day.
He is a good eater and very healthy. He weighs twenty pounds.

We love the updates and the new pictures, but it makes us want to jump on the next plane and bring him home.

There are four families leaving this weekend to pick up their little ones. One of the families are taking a care package to Daniel from us. They are also going to take pictures and video of Daniel for us. We are so blessed to have this opportunity.

The Ethiopian courts start there closure for the rainy season this Thursday. They will reopen in October. Please pray for all the children there during this time.

He sounds like such a sweetheart. It was super hard to wait after we got their pictures. What did you send him in your care package?

With Love,

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...
