Willow I have been blessed to get to know your mommy, daddy, and River over the past year or so. They became friends to my sister Angie and my brother-n-law Tim, Aerie's mommy and daddy. You have been blessed with amazing parents! Their love for God and their faith is incredible. You are getting a mommy and daddy who's love has no boundaries. They have a great heart and has blessed us with their love and joy. Ur mommy is a strong woman! She put together Aerie's baby shower, when she was still waiting to hear about you. She showed pure happiness and love for Angie to be able to through a shower for Angie when she was waiting to hear about you. Her love of God and friendship was glowing through her that day! Through the grace of God, she put together an amazing baby shower, I can't imagine her strength that she had to get through that day! Your mommy, daddy, Angie, Tim, and many others worked hard through the church ministry and many other avenues to help woman and children in Africa. They sold bracelets, necklesses, hair accessories, and many other things to raise money for you, Aerie, and others. They never lost their faith that God was watching over you and them and that he would bring you together at the perfect time. Always know that you are loved and wanted more than you could ever understand. You will be part of a wonderful church (LFCC) filled with love, faith, joy, exceptance, and all that u need! My daughter started going there with Angie and Tim. She loves it there! I'm sure you will as well! Everyone is there for the right reasons and their unconditional love and faith will get you through all life has for you. Your parents are sweet and truely wonderful Christians. We are so excited to meet u and be blessed to watch you grow up into a beautiful woman inside and out, and full of Gods love and spirit! I have so much love and excitement for you and your family! Life is great, because through God all things are possible! Xoxoxo <3 c u soon! :)

Hi Willow! As your future Sensei I cannot wait to begin your self defense training. We will begin with Tai Chi for balance and to help find your spirit focus. Then, onto Swooping Crane style for agility. Lastly, Praying Mantis style...in case your enemies come for you while your eyes are closed and your hands are clasped together.

Hello - my name is Amy and I have adopted, w/ my husband, from Ethiopia as well. We traveled to Harar and Dire Dawa too, as our children are from those cities. I loved seeing your photos (as I was too overwhelmed to take more photos). I really appreciate you posting them. Our daughter was born in December of 2012 and most likely would have been in Dire Dawa w/in four months. Not sure if that lines up w/ your timeline of visiting Ethiopia. Our son was born in Harar in Sept of 2012. Thanks again for posting these pictures. This is when the internet is fabulous. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
