Third Time's a Charm?


Our paperwork arrived in Ethiopia this week for the start of our 3rd adoption process. It is hard to believe that we started down this amazing, heart wrenching, frustrating, nerve wracking, exciting road of adoption in 2006 and have only one child in our family. Our first adoption, from China, began almost 4 years ago, and we are still officially waiting. Our second adoption, from Ethiopia, started with us losing Sophonias, being referred Yonas, waiting through an investigation and finally being able to bring him home. So, here we are on our third attempt, and we are hoping that the third time will be the charm that we need. In the next 5-7 months we hope to be seeing our little girl's sweet face and then making that wonderful trip back to Ethiopia. Here's to hope!
