Welcome. This is part of our story about how God is building our family through adoption and teaching us about HIS family. Going through this process is giving us more understanding about how He has adopted us. We are HIS children, still growing and maturing and developing in our relationship with Him.

Our room at the Addis Flower Guest House


2 beds and 1 bathroom

1st Moment with Ephraim at the Transition House

Dan and Ephraim age 7

Picking up Sisay from his room. Was standing in crib when we got there.




Leaving Transition home for some time together.

Breakfast or lunch? Sisay  LIKES to eat. :o)


Ephraim and Dan work on a transformer together.




Streets of Addis

Out for Lunch after passing court at a nice restaurant. By the way, I got pay back for laughing at Dan with his diaper doosey. Sisay left this place without a shirt because it was not salvageable.



On patio of guest house. Kids playing outside.

    I am beside myself looking at these pics! Soaking in each detail of these boys with their mama and daddy! Thank you Jesus for adoptive love! What a precious picture of the Father and His great love for us! I love how Ephraim melts into you both!! So good! Can't wait to talk to you guys face to face and hear about your boys. Praying you home, yes, but fervently praying you back again to bring them home with you FOREVER!
    Love you...
