Last Day in Ethiopia…
This is our last full day in Ethiopia. We fly out tomorrow night at 10pm. It’s been an amazing trip! We now know what it feels like to fly to another country and adopt a child…..words can’t explain.
Today we were able to meet Kalkidan’s birth mother. After our meeting it was pouring rain out so we offered to give her a ride home. What a gift from God that turned out to be. When we arrived, we happened to ask if we could come inside to see her home, and she felt honored to show us. When we walked into the 10×10 room that was her home, there were pictures framed on a cabinet. They were of Kalkidan as a little girl! We were able to look at tons of pictures of her growing up! It was a very emotional visit to say the least. We are so thankful for the opportunity to learn about our daughters life…..it was a GREAT day!
Here are some pictures Kalkidan said we could share.
