We got the call at 1:37pm from Jan, The Ethiopian Specialist at CHSFS that we have been matched with a beautiful little 5 month old girl. Her name is Hanna (which so appropriately means "gracious gift of God" or "favored by God") and her middle name, Tessema (which she shares with her Ethiopian father) means "He has been heard." She is absolutely gorgeous!
We have not been sleeping well the past couple nights - feeling as if it was any time now. Come to find out the referral was ready for us yesterday, but because of some logistical issues, the news could not be shared with us until today.
Our next step is to accept the referral (we have a call into our specialist now) and should be traveling in 12 - 16 weeks!
Its so awesome - we're walking around stunned out of our minds...
thank you for all of your prayers!
welcome!
4.5 million orphans in Ethiopa alone.
