Our God is so good! Michael and I have talked about how much we admire the way that you and Eric are choosing to grow your family. Miss "F" and Mr. "K" are so blessed to have you two as parents and Britt as their sister. I am so joyful that we get to be stationed in Oklahoma together just so we can watch your family blossom.

I'm so happy God is so good and let this happen so quickly! I housesat/babysat for some Ethiopian girls (sisters) that were adopted about 3 years ago (at 4 and 6) and they have had a great experience here. Actually, when they first got here they were a bit crazy with all they had been through, but as they got acclimated and learned to speak English, they really thrived…and then started talking about their third sister there who was still living alone (11 yr old) in a hut. This was of course unknown before by their adoptive parents, so soon after they went and adopted the third sister and now they are all reunited…they are an awesome family and it's so exciting to hear about this happening to yours, too! I'll be praying for a smooth transition and that you guys learn to love the berbere spice they're so fond of!Jessamynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870315566729983545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625072945991373268.post-80871041963159011182012-04-26T16:36:31.419-05:002012-04-26T16:36:31.419-05:00What an amazing testament to God's faithfulnes...What an amazing testament to God's faithfulness to us! & how incredibly amazing it must feel to be blessed with not just one but THREE of God's children!
