Welcome to all of our friends and family. We have created this blog to share our adoption journey with you. Many of you have have questions and we thought this web-based log, or blog, would be a great way to share what we've learned.
Our adoption journey began late spring of 2006. Shawn and I both felt prompted that there was another child for our family. After much prayer and inspirational guidance we knew that we wanted to expand our family through international adoption, specifically from Ethiopia.

From the Official Ethiopian Government website: The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is located in the north-eastern part of Africa commonly known as the Horn of Africa. Neighboring countries include Djibouti and Somalia in the east, Kenya in the south, Sudan in the west and south-west and Eritrea in the north and north-east. The country covers 1,112,000 square kilometres (472,000 sq. miles) making it roughly five times the size of the UK.

wow!!!
Girum looks beautiful and healthy, and it has been so fun reading about your adventures in picking up your new son. We can't wait to meet him. Travel safely!
What a great story. I actually found your blog through Cougarboard.com. I frequent the board daily and saw the link through one of your posts. Your adoption story is what intriqued me.
My wife and I have our own special adoption story as well. Much different than yours. We had been married for 7 years without being able to have our own children. After much prayer and fasting we knew adoption was our path to a bigger family. After no success working with LDS Family Services we were referred to an agency in Sandy, UT where one week later our son was born. Two days later we brought him home. What makes this unique is our son is African-American and we are Caucasian. Since we brought him home, he is 3 now, he has been the joy of our lives. It is wonderful to know others who have adopted those of another race. It shows true charity and courage.
God Bless you for your son Adam.
