Ethiopia Bound!

Published by Xavier Pacheco at 9:18 PM under Adoption | Family

Just a quick post to say that tomorrow, Anne and I head for Ethiopia to meet and bring home our children Yemeserach and Abenezer. As always, your prayers are treasured. Not sure if I'll be able to post while we're away, I’ll try.

Thank you all for your continual support and encouragement! It's hard to believe this time has finally come. We love you all and can't wait to introduce you to these two beautiful children. Until then, may God bless you.

I am so excited for you all to meet those two little precious ones!  What a wonderful time it will be for you.

I will pray for your health and well-being, and for an easy and natural bonding for the five of you.

Love,
Laurie from Boulder
