Introducing Wasyihun

Mike and I decided to sponsor a child that lives close to where we will be going in Ethiopia. His name is Wasyihun and he is 8 years old! Hopefully this will be a good way for us and our little one to maintain a connection to his Ethiopian roots. Friends of ours who adopted from Ethiopia visited their sponsor child while in Addis and said it was one of their biggest highlights of their trip. I think it will make the whole process of sponsoring a child a lot more real.




Homestudy news:

We've completed our second homestudy (3 more to go) visit and it went really well. It was actually a lot of fun to talk about how we envision our family lifestyle to be and what sort of rituals and activities we want to do with our kids. Our social worker also asked us a lot about parenting philosophies, discipline and how we would deal with specific situations. Mike even told her that he wants to take our son hunting! I panicked for a moment but reminded myself that hunting is not illegal and therefore should not be a problem!
