God is definately a God of details! So when we were deciding to adopt the kids I emailed a gal whose blog I read (afamilywithoutborders) as her daughter is at the same orphanage as Alemtsehaye. Amanada was able to give me her impressions of Alemtsehaye as she had just been to Ethiopia and had met her - and of course the girls are friends which is just so cool. My hope is that when they are both home they will be able to write, email , talk on the phone. Just to be able to keep that connection is precious. So then one night last week we were at an event and met another adoptive family - started talking adoption and what not and discovered that they are in the process of adopting the best friend of our soon to be son Estifanos - and they live only 45 minutes away!! They have been to Ethiopia a few times with an other adoption and have pics and video of Estifanos that they can share with us!! WOW!! How amazing that these 2 boys who live in an orphange on the other side of the world will both becoming to live in CO? How amazing that out of about 1200 Ethiopian orphans adopted to the US each year we would know these 2 other families? God is so into the details - what a Father he is. Thank you Lord for these precious kids and these amazing connections.

Wow!! Very cool!! God is so good!!
Love it when he's in the details! ;o)
Our 15 year old daughter's best friend - who was in the orphanage with her in ethiopia, lives only about 40 minutes from us. It is such a blessing that these girls have one another. It's great too for them to hold onto their Amharic, and culture. The girls only speak in Amharic when the talk on the phone - or in person even! I am so happy for your kids that they will have this blessing as well.
