Celebrating three months....

Today we celebrate three months since gotcha day! We took Daniel into our arms 3 months ago today and walked out the door of the Transition Home with him. Just look at how much he has changed since our referral pictures in July. We love him so much and he is such a blessing to our family. We could use good sleep at night, but that will come.

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.

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...
