It's a girl!



After many roller coaster moments, which I luckily didn't post about, we have accepted our refferal. We are going through with adopting Shakur, 6, and Hamada 4 1/2 from Ethiopia. They are actually Somalian refugees, but we will be adopting them from an orphanage in Ethiopia. It will be from between 3-5 months before we go and pick them up there. In the meantime, I think Ariel and I are both going through a bit of shock, wondering if we are completely insane. I just know we just can't imagine what it will be like to have four children and to welcome them into our family, but I know I can't wait to find out.
