Oh, my..i have tears streaming down my face. thank you for sharing this.
Love this video- his appreciation for that red ball cap....wow! When do you guys head south??
hey emily! we head south on the first of aug. :)
Beautiful. I was truly moved.
The boys watched some of it with me and we had a great conversation about adoption. They are very intrigued now. They had lots of questions...such as...Will the baby always be brown?(can you guess who asked that one?) When will they go get "our" baby? How long do they have to stay in Ethiopia? How old will the baby be? What if they go and instead of a girl they give them a boy? That will make a lot of boys in our family!
I am glad that I got to share this with them. They will add it to their prayer list and will pray for it every night.
We love you!
Hi,
My name is Susanna and I am (almost) 16 years old. My family very recently (three weeks ago!) brought my 18-month-old sister home from Ethiopia, and it was an incredible experience. I just wanted to add my congratulations to you and wish you good luck on this wild but amazing journey! I can't wait to read more.
