This is our journey so far...
July 16, 2008~We leave for Ethiopia to meet and visit (unfortunately not to take them home YET) with Daniel and Yordanos. We will also be visiting and taking donations to a few orphanages in Addis Ababa and Village of Hope. We hope to journal our trip (depending on internet availability) so stay tuned!!
July 8, 2008~Received some great pictures of the kids receiving a package that we sent them- Thanks Grace!! Each picture gives insight into their little personalities-we can't wait to meet them!! Sorry we can't post any pictures until we officially pass court and they legally become our children:(
April, 2008~ Received video of Daniel and Yordanos receiving first photos of us and being told they are going to be adopted-What a precious video!!!
March, 2008~Dossier arrived in Ethiopia, was translated and ready to go! Waiting on the kids paperwork in Ethiopia in order to get a court date.
January-March, 2008~Completed homestudy, adoption classes and all other paperwork (now I know why they say adoption is a paper pregnancy). What an accomplishment!!
November, 2007~Matched with Daniel and Yordanos from DVD
December, 2006-November, 2007~Researched adoption and agencies, chose Ethiopia, and started the emotional rollercoaster!
We have created this page to share with our family and friends about our adoption journey to our children from Ethiopia. We have had many ups, downs, twists and turns in our journey, but God has certainly blessed our broken road! We now have four wonderful children from Ethiopia- 3 sons and 1 daughter!!
