Today we received news that we officially have a daughter waiting for us. Last night as we slept, the courts completed the legality portion of our adoption. Today, we are her legal parents in Ethiopia. Her birth name is Tesfanesh. Right now, we are calling her Adey (because of the difficulty of the first). Both of the names are Ethiopian. She is currently almost 9 months old. We are truly excited and can not wait to pick her up.
The sad part of the good news are the pains that had to occur. Adey's (Tesfanesh) mom had to go in front of the judge as well to finalize the adoption. We can only imagine how painful this must have been. Even though we received good news, we can only imagine how difficult it would have been for her biological mother. I pray that this adoption strengthens her and puts her in a position to reclaim what she rightfully deserves. Peace be with all of us. I look forward to meeting her (if she chooses) as we are now extended family.
We will travel soon and we look forward to all that these journeys will bring.
