Today ...

Today, our country elected a new President. Results are being tallied and our new President will be declared sometime tonight.

Five AWAA families were united forever with their children in Ethiopia today - Nunez, Terwilleger, Britton, Hammond & Laughner.

Waiting familes received their monthly update on their children today ... We received another adorable picture of our 2 sons and it looks as if Tariku has finally gained some weight. At 2 1/2 years old he now weighs 23 lbs - that chubby little belly we see in the pictures is finally reflected in a healthy, 3 lb weight gain. Both boys look happy and healthy.

Sometime early Thursday night/Friday morning while we are sleeping, a judge in Ethiopia will review our adoption file and hopefully declare a 7 year old child ... our son! Our 2 year old was legally declared our son on our first court date on Oct 8.
