Introduction

Here is an abbreviated version of a popular bedtime story at our house:

Mommy and daddy had three boys and no little girls. So we prayed and God said there was a one year-old little girl in Russia named L.  who needed a mom and dad. So we flew to Russia and brought her home to be our daughter forever.
Then we prayed again and God said there was almost three year-old little girl in Russia named M. who needed a mom and dad.  So we flew to Russia and brought her home to be our daughter forever.

Then we prayed again and God said there was baby named A. in Guatemala who needed a mom and dad.  So we went to Guatemala and brought her home to be our daughter forever.

Then we prayed again and God said there was a 6 year-old ittle girl in Ethiopia named K. who needed a mom and dad. So we flew to Ethiopia in March and brought her home to be our daughter forever.
