Abel will be a big brother!!

We have been matched with a darling baby boy! He is 5.5 months old.
His name is Eyob which is the Ethiopian version of Job. (pronounced ee yobe) I secretly thought/hoped this child would have an E name and Eyob has been a favorite Ethiopian name of mine since I first heard it!! Amazing! If only we could go scoop him up and bring home right now! Unfortunately, it will be a long haul from here on out.

This is beautiful!

In Memory of an Amazing Woman

Haregewoin Teferra, foster mother to hundreds of Ethiopian orphans, has passed away. You won't recognize her name unless you have read the book There is No Me Without You by Melissa Fay Greene. It gives you hope in the difference one person can make in the lives of an entire country and beyond; her story is one that will never be forgotten.This is a great loss to so many children. If you wish to help provide care for the children she left behind, Worldwide Orphans Foundation has set up a special Emergency Fund for Haregewoin's children.
