Daniel is sick!

By -
We just came from the doctor, Daniel has an ear infection, upper respiratory infection, and his lungs sound junky! He has lost almost a pound since Monday! He has been vomiting a lot from all the mucous that is draining. We started him on an antibiotic today! Please pray for our little guy! We are going to continue Pedialyte for another 24 hours to keep him hydrated. He has had two doctor visits this week, a blood draw and stool samples taken. Welcome to the US.

Other than being sick he is doing great. He is just the sweetest little guy with a big personality! We can't thank you enough for all the prayers during our journey to Ethiopia. We are so excited for all the families that are getting ready to leave this week to pick up their kids. Please know that we are praying for you!

I hope he will get better soon. We think of you every day and the kids ask about Daniel all the time. We can not wait to see you soon.

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

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
