Ethiopia Day 2- July 21, 2008




Today we went back to the orphanage to work on paperwork for our embassy meeting tomorrow.  We were picked up by the CWA (christian world adoption) van. There were 2 other families in the van. One was going to get their 3 year old little boy and the other was a single mom who already had her 6 month old baby boy.  when we pulled up to the gates of the compound, Tess was very excited to see her old friends.  It made me happy to see her so glad to return. It tells me that she was happy there.  The case worker spoke with Tess for a few minutes and then turned to us and said "she is very happy!" While I filled out paperwork, Jeff and CHristine played with the other kids at the Orphanage.  They just loved Jeff! Every time I looked over he was holding a different child.  The children loved Christine's long blonde hair and spent the whole time touching it.  After leaving the children we drove around to a market. We found some great things to bring back as gifts for all the families who donated things for us to bring.  The caretakers told us we brought very important things and were so thankful.
