I’m excited/nervous for tomorrow when our POA will go back to the embassy with the requested photos of us WITH Kwasi and a new POA document that includes his date of birth. I’m so hoping they say “looks good, tell the parents to head on over!”. In other news… Esinam is adjusting surprisingly well to […]

There have been many twists and turns to our adoption. We started with an agency working in Ethiopia. The agency was great and we got connected with other parents that were in-process. One of these mothers and I got to talking quite a bit via email as we were RIGHT at the same point in […]

I know, I know. I haven’t shared too many details since we got home. It just seems like we have been so busy! So, here is a very brief briefing for those of you I have spoken to yet. We were very blessed to be able to have Kwasi and his foster mother stay with […]
