REFERRAL!!!


We are elated to share the news of Sweet "B" with all of you! We received her referral on Friday at noon and have been gazing into her beautiful eyes ever since. She is 4 months old and we can't wait for her to join our family, hopefully this summer!

Thank you for all your encouragement and support. We have a huge sense of relief after 51 weeks of waiting to know our daughter, and are excited to be in this new chapter of our journey to her.

According to our agency and the Ethiopian government's policies, we will not be able to post pictures online of Sweet B until we return home with her.

I love you, friend.

I am so proud of the person you are...and an extradorinary mother. Baby B is so blessed...she doesn't even know the amazing life that awaits her...

Thank you for the email... :) Smitten.
