The director of our agency just went to Ethiopia and took some some pictures of Biruk and also sent us Paulo's disposeable camera..the pictures didnt come out great..but Im thrilled to have them. It makes me smile, because paulos is wearing our tshirt, waering our necklace and in the picture where he is laying on the bed, hes looking at our talking frame where Dex and both say their names and we tell them we love him!! It makes me so happy to see him with my things!!! What a great day today!!!

I have to say what you are doing makes me feel SO happy to have been adopted, knowing that there are people out there like you to care for children in need is a wonderful thing. I wish you and your dh all the happiness and love in the world! Good luck!
And reading your post makes me realize though your words how it must have been for my mom waiting for me

Thank you so much you guys and thank you for not getting sick of me. Im like a walking talking obsessed freakshow..I eat, sleep and breathe Ethiopia. I have lost my mind I think. I dont do a thing without thinking about everything..so its good for me to be able to come on here and talk about it..so THANK YOU for listening and for being excited for us!!!
I do love it that we have a sense of communication with the boys..I absolutley LOVE our agency..this is the only agency I found that has this type of communication, it also has a chatboard so I am able to talk with other parents who have adopted or who are adopting and sooo many parents have met my boys and send me pictures of them and were able to tell me about them. Plus our director is there evry few months, so she takes pictures and can talk to them. I can write to them and send cameras monthly...it keeps me going!
So again, thanks for listening..sometime soon Ill try and find something else to talk about..I promise..but thanks for not getting sick of me!!!!
