It is Official!

We just got THE CALL! Everything went through today and we officially have a new member in our family!!! Thank all so much for your prayers and support these last few days. They meant so much to us. Now, I would like to introduce you to Kidus:

And taken by our caseworker at Adoption Associates, also in June. They woke him up for this picture, and he is not happy. Just like his mommy! :-)

Praise God! He is so good!
I'm SO happy for you guys!!!

I guess now you're not Alemu's #1 priority. That leaves lots of room for the rest of us! :+)

Let me know when we can celebrate!

Well, that is some great news!!!!!
I can't wait to chat with you both and maybe in some small way offer some help as you prepare to travel.

It will be so cool to reunite Kidus with Mikias (Henock). They will have quite a story to tell.

Enjoy the ride!!!!
