Today I received our adopting friends journal. There are around 11 of us included. We send the journal to each other and write notes, bible verses ect... and pass it on. Isaac got some special stickers for Kim in PA. today, Thanks Kim!
It is such a blessing to share with other moms our journey.
Here is a poem/saying by Benjamin Malachi Franklin (1882-1965)
My life is but a weaving between my Lord and me,
I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride forget He sees the upper but I the under side.
Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly, Shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needed in the Weaver's skillful hand, as threads of gold and silver in the pattern life has planned.

Hi Andrea!
Great job starting your blog.
That adopting friends journal sounds really nice.
Hope your CIS approval comes SOON so you can have that dossier in Ethiopia and start waiting for your little one.
Take care,
Sharon Diepenhorst
Isn't the journal such a blessing? I can't wait til it comes back to me... even though I know it's going to be a while! :)
