- I am the third born child of my mother who was the third born child.
- I am the youngest child born to my father who is also the youngest child. We are both the youngest grandchildren on our father's side.
- I was the only girl in my family with two older brothers, born to my mother who had two brothers and my father who also had two older brothers like his mother that had two brothers.
- I was born in February 1966, thirty years after my father who was born in February 1936 which was exactly thirty years after his mother who was born in 1906.
- I was born on the 15th day of the month at 7:42am. My son was born on the 15th day of the month and unbelievably at 7:42am.
It is 7,500 miles from here to Ethiopia. In this land once ruled by kings I search for two special children with eyes like mine. Join me as I take this long walk down the path of international adoption. There are sure to be twist and turns, some hills and some valleys, some laughter and some tears before I reach the destination.

Very, very interesting! I came on here after seeing your blogsite on the WHFC Yahoo group - Great blog, I look forward to following you along on your journey - thanks for sharing your insight! :) Lori
Hey Sis ... learned a couple of things I didn't know from reading your blog ... truly interesting. I'm truly impressed with what you're doing. Here's hoping that the process moves along smoothly. How I'd love to be in one of your suit-cases when you make that trip to Ethopia.
All the Best & Much Love

B. I know that you have some of those birth things too like being the middle child, with a birth date right in the middle of our parents and a few other things right?
You can go but you cannot get in my suitcase. Mother would be having the best time of all and you know that.
