Our adoption journey has been amazing from the day we started and we continue to be blessed everyday with its reward. Images of the poverty, famine and war stricken country have forever been imprinted in our hearts and minds. It was a life-changing trip with many tears, but I wouldn’t have missed one single moment of it.

It's been almost a year since we have been home with Fasika! She is amazing as always, loves school, loves her brother & sister, clothes, shoes, music, food and bugs!! We are planning a trip back to Africa this November. We returning on a humanitarian aid mission and to reconnect with Fasika's birth family. We have opened a shop on Etsy.com where we are selling a few fundraising items. 100% of the proceeds of all sales will go directly to Fasika's birth village of Aleta Wondo. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7194025

Our custom design, created by Jim Goodell, features a child's hand print over the earth with a cutout of Africa in the center and a heart over Ethiopia. The quote "As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person" by Paul Shane Spear is written around the outside. We have t-shirts, car decals and more!
