Extra, Extra, Read all about it!

We are so happy to finally be able to share our wonderful news and to blog about it! We have been asked several follow up questions so hopefully this post will answer some of them. Please respect our decision to keep some information private. As much as we believe in adoption advocacy, we also believe specific details about our children's story belongs to them.

When did we start our 2nd Adoption?
Believe it or not, we started last fall and completed our dossier in January of this year. We waited many months for our referral but thankfully Maya kept us very busy!

Name and Age?
Our little Makenna Bethlehem is in the ballpark of 5 months old.

What are you going to do with another girl and her hair?
Well, it helps we already have all the "girl" stuff like clothes, toys, and hair accessories. Plus it helps that I truly feel all girls need a sister. I think it is because of my relationship with my sister.

When will we be traveling and is Maya going with us?
Soon! We hope to be traveling within the next 3 to 6 weeks. Maya is unfortunately not going to make this trip with us. We feel this trip is about Makenna and to full-fill some other passions such as visiting the boys at Kolfe Boys Orphanage which our church is sponsoring. We will be back again one day with both girls.

We hope you will continue to celebrate Makenna's adoption with us and to continue to follow our journey. We truly feel blessed to be able to grow our family again via adoption. Ethiopia to Fargo once again!
