Announcing: Party of Five!

In March of 2009, we posted this picture
(as a result of a challenge from our pal Tymm).
In February of 2010, we decided to live out this pledge. How?
By turning in our application to ADOPT from ETHIOPIA!
So, our girls will come from around the globe: USA, China and Ethiopia. We are beyond excited, and have already discovered a new place in our hearts. We have room, we have love, and there is a need.
Decision made.
We hope to post some other adoption news soon, but this post is in celebration of our girl who waits for us in Africa. We are coming, baby girl. We just have some paperchasing to do first.
