Today is our 6-Month Post Placement. At least, I think it is. It is 6 months from our embassy appointment. However, it's been more than 6 months since our court date, when Ash officially became our son. And ealier this week would have been 6 months since our Forever Day. And in a few days will be 6 months from the time we brought him home. I'm not sure which day to celebrate! Either way, the fact that he joined our family is reason enough to celebrate! :o)
It is unbelievable that 1/2 a year has gone by already. He has grown so much and is changing every day. I'm so sad to see him leave behind some of his baby traits. (We will be celebrating his 1st birthday in less than a month!) However, it is fun to watch his little personality develop and hear his big boy laugh. I'm sure he will continue to bring us as much, if not more, joy in the future days as he has over the last 6 months!

6 months - - congratulations!! May God continue to bless your family!!
Time flies! Good wishes to you all!
It's hard to imagine how fast the time goes by...
As a fellow adoptive parent, I thought to write and tell you about the new guest home in Ethiopia specifically for adoptive parents and volunteer groups for the benefit of orphans in Ethiopia. Now that it is up and running, we would love to share the vision with other adoptive parents. You can see more at http://www.ethiopiaguesthome.com.
If you would like to post a link, send me an email at dave@ethiopiaguesthome.com and I’ll forward you the information.
Blessings,
