Not forgotten

Last week Jake had the opportunity to visit the Transition Home in Ethiopia where Dosen lived for 4 months. The nannies there were unbelievably warm to us when we brought him home in 2008, and our little Dosen was obviously loved. We never imagined, though, that after hundreds of children have passed through their arms, they would remember their "Wondi."





I have no words to describe her beautiful expression of love. These photos are a treasure.

How incredible; he must have really made an impression on them. They must get so attached to the kids and then have to give them up. I'm sure it's comforting to know they're releasing them into good homes, but they need our prayers too!

I am sitting here with nothing but tears. I mean what a treasue. One day Dosen will so appreciate seeing these. My favorite part is seeing his daddy's face- pure delight. Thank you so very much for sharing.
