A Blessing

When we came to Ethiopia we thought we would be the only family staying between court and embassy. But the week after we got here, the Knox family came for court. As soon as Caylene met her Ethiopian kids she turned to her husband and said “There’s no way I can leave them”. She packed as if she was staying, but her husband wasn’t convinced yet. After spending some time here and knowing that Brad and I were here also, they decided she would stay. What a blessing this has been to both of us!!! She has 2 Ethiopian kids, 5 and 3. We both passed court the same day and we had our Gotcha Day together. We have enjoyed experiencing these special days together! Brad has really enjoyed playing with her son and he has helped hold Landon Sada’s hand, etc while we have been out. So I know Caylene has enjoyed the help too! It’s been nice to have another family here to talk to and do things with. Another family was here the other day and told Brad the kids will miss him. Brad said “I will really miss the kids!” I have made so many new friends during this adoption process. Caylene’s friendship will always be a special one because of all the time we spent together in Ethiopia!!
