Helianthus and Adoption Update

Thanks to the very warm (record breaking) September, I finally get to see my Helianthus sunflower in full bloom!

We are leaving today for Addis Ababa, where we will have our court hearing on October 6. But more importantly, we will meet our two children. And this is what we have been living for.

God bless us on our journey to Ethiopia...

Happy to report that we received the receipt and fingerprint notices from CIS for our adoption petition this week. Off to be fingerprinted!

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens
