We have arrived


DHL notice: 9/13/2010     4:10 pm Shipment delivered.   Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Our Dossier has finally arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Although our hearts have been in Ethiopia for quite some time now, we love the idea that an actual piece of us has arrived in Ethiopia...we now have a physical presence. We were smiling all day long thinking about the next step in this journey. The 10th of each month will now have a meaning, it is a marker, with each month that passes we are one month closer to our daughter.


To celebrate (and to give us a reason to try another fabulous Ethiopian restaurant) we went to Queen of Sheba for dinner. It was wonderful to have another another family member try delicious Ethiopian food. What a way to start the Ethiopian New Year!

It is a sign of a new beginning for all of the rest of the family that will also love and cherish her as you do. Exciting news that the dossier has arrived and bringing you ever closer to your daughter, baby DeTorres! And every step closer is a reason to celebrate.
