We are finally home! My baby boys are such a joy to me! Thank you for all your prayers and support!
Here is Kai enjoying some of mommy's healthy foods. He loves my "Faux" Oatmeal for breakfast with coconut flour. They fed him a rice cereal at the orphanage and this has a consistency that he likes. Click HERE to find why rice cereal is not a healthy option for babies.
This photo is of Thanksgiving morning. We flew in late on Wednesday night so Thanksgiving dinner was anything but traditional. Micah is 28 months and has to hold my hand at all times! This makes cooking interesting! But I love every second!
Craig and I stayed with the boys in May (in Ethiopia) for 1 week. During that time Micah and I bonded so much. He wanted me to hold him at all times. The longer the wait became without seeing him, I prayed and prayed that he would remember me at least a little. My prayers were answered! This video shows me the power of love.

ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations! I was feeling so happy for you but that video just made me cry. Your boys are so lucky to have found such a loving mother. Enjoy it all. x
ReplyDeleteWahoo! I am so excited for you and your family. Wonderful! I am crying. This has been such a long wait for you. God is good.
ReplyDeleteGlad they are home with you and Dad! Despite the adjustment you will all likely experience, somehow it feels like this will work out and you will each be better for it. Sending much love to you all and good wishes along the way.
ReplyDeleteHoping you guys are transitioning well! I know your busy but I wanted to ask a few more questions about the adoption agency etc, if it was a good experience. So many options! I don't want to go with a large agency ONLY because they look enticing. I'm sure some of the smaller agencies are just as good. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAaw, Maria - between you and Ginny this morning, I'm crying! What a sweet reunion! So very happy for you and Craig and your little boys.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your love and support!
ReplyDeleteWe used Adoption Avenues out of Oregon. However, most agencies are no longer taking Ethiopian inquiries do to government issues.
We loved our agency. It is VERY small and you have to do a lot of work yourself but it was way more affordable!
Congratulations, Maria. I am so, so happy for all of you. They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! They're such beautiful boys! What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteyour boys are darling! My cousin adopted a little girl from Ethiopia last year and she is 15 months old now!
ReplyDeleteI could never get sick of that video!! I am just so happy for you!
