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.

Wow. You've been busy. Congratulations. Now, time for a new list.
Jan
Jan, I will be making a new list. I just had to keep looking at this one to make sure I was getting something accomplished. I remember back in April when I made the list it seemed like a mountain of things to do. My plan was to start early and take little steps. I feel pretty good and surprised that I've gotten most of this done. Yea for the (me) the babies! LOL
