I am so excited to be adopting again from Ethiopia! K. has been here since March and has fit in so well. She is bright and funny and so cute. I was concerned she would have a hard transition since she is 6 years old, but it has been a relatively easy transition.
We are planning on adopting a child from one of YWAM Ethiopia's orphanages again. I have been so impressed with the work they are doing in Ethiopia. We are thinking about a little boy 2-3 years old this time.
We are working with Cara Helberg (Angel's Haven) for our home study. I just love Cara! She has helped us with all five adoptions. She is positive and realistic simultaneously and is always quick to respond to emails. She loves kids and is focusing her agency on hosting programs and working with children with HIV in various countries.
Popping over from the SL forum. Many congratulations! We are waiting for our 5th child (our third from China) and hope to be travelling to meet him in January. Thanks for sharing your blog!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! We are also a YWAM family, we live in WA state and have the immense pleasure of working closely with the YWAM staff on a continual basis. We have accepted a referral for a little girl and have been waiting over 3 months to be assigned a court date. We are waiting for "the call" and are anxious to meet our newest family member!! You seem to be seasoned veterans of this process, so good luck and God Speed!
