A Spring Shower of Ethiopian Referrals

There are now eight new families in the Ethiopia program who are preparing to travel. All these couples received referrals this week. There was great excitement and many tears as the families received their referrals. Congratulations to them all.

The group of eight had seven girls! Ages: four girls were 2 – 2 ½ months-old, one was 9-months-old and two were 2 and 4-years-old. The lone boy in the bunch is 9-months-old.

Photo: Julie Doane, along with her son Morgan, is all smiles as she looks at the referral photo of her new 2 1/2-month-old daughter from Ethiopia. Julie and her husband Michael will travel to the Children's Hope House of Hope in Addis Ababa in around two months to finalize the adoption. (Ethiopian law prohibits us from showing the baby's photo until the adoption is complete.)
