Update from Ethiopia

This week we receieved some awesome updates from Ethiopia on Daniel and Yordanos! One of the families from Hope was in Ethiopia for a month and she visited our kdis at Bethel! We were so excited about this-Thank You Jaclyn!! She took great pictures and spent some one-on one time with them both! This is what she passed on to us:
Lisa-
Yordanos or Yanenash told me that she was 8 years old, her favorite color is yellow and her favorite food is pasta!
Daniel said he was 6 years old, his favorite color is blue and he loves to eat mangos!
Both of your kids told me to tell you that they miss mom and dad and love you very much. They can't wait to see you again. I hugged them and told them that it was a hug from you and Dave and they gave me hugs for you guys in return. Daniel was quiet but he stood with Jeff quite a bit. You could tell he was missing his dad! They were wearing necklaces that I assume you gave them.


What a wonderful brithday present it was for me!!! She also sent us a picture that Yordanos drew that said, "Mom and Dad...I Love You"!!

It has been really hard waiting since we came back so this update was so wonderful to get! Wish we could post pics...not until we pass court!! We also heard from Hope that Shemeliss (founder of Hope Adoption Agency) met with Bethel and all is moving along with our adoption. He comes home from Ethiopia next week so we hope to get some more specifics. Courts are closed until October 1st...so hopefully we can get a court date soon after!!!
