We're expecting from Ethiopia!!!
After a year of researching agencies, reading, and thinking about adoption, Mike and I have officially started the process!
We are thrilled to announce that we will be adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia!
I decided to start this blog so that family and friends can journey with us to meeting our son. When someone is pregnant it is easy to know what stage they are at in their pregnancy, you know the typical questions to ask, and there is a fairly accurate due date to anticipate. Mike and I don't exactly have a due date, not even a tentative month. So hopefully this blog will answer your questions and keep you all updated as we go.
As for blogging, I have never actually been a fan of blogs until I started researching adoption. Through countless blogs of families adopting from Ethiopia, I have found tons of information and support. It is now my hope that this blog will also be useful to other prospective adoptive parents out there who may be reading. And so, I too have become a blogger, somewhat hesitantly. (I still don't agree with facebook yet, so please do not attach any link to this in your facebook!)
love,
em & mike

How wicked awesome! Jon and I are both so very happy for you two. We can't wait to meet the next little Krabbendam. An Ethiopian kid with Krabbendam as a last name is a recipe for stardom!Congratulations.
Hi Emily,
