AAA - The Awesome Adoption Adventure

Well, we've been home a little over 7 weeks from Africa, and things with Fasika couldn't be better. She is such a bright, happy, fun girl. We all don't know what we did for entertainment before she came home to us! When we were in Ethiopia, we were a little concerned because she wanted very little to do with us. She would wake up from naps, look at us, and cry. She also seemed very shy. Well...not any more!! She has bonded with our family so well. She just seems so happy and content. She's very bright and is already picking up some English words and words in Sign Language. She loves playing with her 6 year old brother, who no longer cares that he's the only boy...he loves Fasika so much. Our older girls are like little mommies and help mom with all the chores around the house. They are already asking when we can adopt again. :) Thank you for continuing to pray for our transition home. It's been better than we ever imagined. We finally finished a video on our adoption adventure and will be burning copies to send to friends and family soon.

Please continue to pray about how God can use you to help orphans. You'll be blessed beyond your imagination!
