So, there is my news for the day. . .and probably for the weekend since we are headed to Braner-land for Easter!

We adopted from Ethiopia and are now wanting to adopt from Rwanda. I went back and have read some of your old posts and it appears your are adopting w/out an agency this time. I am contacting any and all families for help. It sounds like your road has been long and hard, is this becasue of the orphanage? I would LOVE any help or insight you can offer our family.
