Its Happening...

Yordi is coming HOME!!

We found out last week that we cleared embassy, and this morning we were assigned an interview date of Monday 8/13. I'm still in complete shock at how quickly this has all happened, but CAN NOT WAIT to get back to Ethiopia to be with our little girl. Our agency will be telling her the good news early next week so she'll have time to process through the emotions of actually leaving her orphanage, her family & her country. I know that she'll be so excited that she's finally getting the family she prayed for, but I'm also sure there will be a lot of sadness in leaving everything she knows and loves to start a new life in America.

I'll be flying out on Thursday 8/9, and arriving in Ethiopia late Friday night. If all goes according to plan, Friday night will be the LAST night that Yordi will be sleeping in an orphanage! I'll pick her up Saturday morning, and she'll be staying at the guesthouse with me until we leave Ethiopia TOGETHER!

As we finalaize our travel plans & costs, we would appreciate more than ever if you would consider sponsoring a piece of Yordi's puzzle. We're SO CLOSE to our $5,000 goal, but still have several blank puzzle pieces waiting for names. One can be yours for only $10.00!





We have been blown away by the love and support we've received for our family & we can't wait to introduce you to our amazing daughter SOON!
