The kids invited some friends over to learn about Ethiopia and our pending adoption. Anthony called it our Ethiopia Coffee and Film Shindig because we watched a movie too. We talked about Ethiopian culture and also the challenges facing the country today. We served Ethiopian fair trade coffee, popcorn, and cookies designed to look like the Ethiopian flag- see pictures on the right, what do you think about my efforts? I even had a coloring sheet for them and you'd be surprised how excited high school kids get about coloring, no one really gives them a chance to color anymore I guess. A good time was had by all and I think everyone walked away with a greater understanding of what an amazing country Ethiopia is. I think our enthusiasm is contagious.
In terms of the adoption, there was a sibling referral this week so I guess that puts us one step closer to our referral. Until next time, thanks for checking in.
