We are very excited to be adopting again from Ethiopia! We arrived home with Jada in Nov '07 and it has been so wonderful, we have to do it again! We are very excited to see how God will work and continue to bless our family!!

ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my word!!!! Marty and I found out this morning that we have a little baby girl! We are beyond excited and overjoyed!!!!!!!!! She was born March 2!!!!!!! Isn't she adorable!!! Thank you for your prayers!!!!!!!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Marty and Jill, your baby is beautiful!!! She is so precious, what a gift! We are so excited for you!!! What a journey it's been, and still going to be. Keep trusting. Just wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! Beng and Matty & kids
I just had to smile and laugh when I read the first three words of your entry, "oh My word" That is such a Jill thing to say!! I am so happy for you two and i can't wait to hear all about her and what her name will be and just everything! I hope and pray you will have her safe in your arms sooner than you think!!
Wow, how incredibly exciting!! We are thrilled for you, and will look forward to getting all the details of your trip to Ethiopia. Do you have any idea yet when you will be leaving? We hope we can give you a hug (and a baby gift) when we're in Alberta.
I could cry... I'm so happy she has parents who love her!! She reminds me of the babies I took care of in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. You are very Blessed. Luv, Jessica Derksen

Hello, I love reading your story! My husband, my daughter and I are also on an Ethiopian adventure. I have noticed on a number of different blogs that the referral time is all over the map (couple weeks to over a year) even when it is only for one child. Just wondering why you think your referral came so quickly? - that is, if I am understanding correctly - Dossier to Ethiopia at the beginning of June and referral by the end of June. Any of your feedback would be appreciated.
