And More Precious Boys

Well, I found out that from Eileen that the two older boys she had told me about from Kolfe, Binyam and Efrim, actually have a sister, so there are three of them that need a family. Right now, we still really feel like we are supposed to adopt two boys, so they are probably not the ones for us.

It is so hard though, once you have heard about specific children needing families, and seen their pictures – it feels like you are rejecting them if you don’t choose them, even though they don’t know about it.

Solomon, Eileen’s adopted son who is in Ethiopia (he was too old to be legally adopted, but they have adopted him into their family anyway), sent her this email and picture of two more brothers at Kolfe who need a family:

Bikes and Ayanaw
Bikes is 15 years old and his younger brother is 14. They have no any siblings and relatives. They came to Kolfe before 7 years ago. Ayanaw is grade 9 student and Bikes is grade 8 student. I asked them if they need a family that helps them and they said they are very happy if they get a good family that share they problem and they also said to you thank you for what are you doing now for them.

We are also still waiting to hear back from Jalia, about another possible boy we could adopt along with Kato Fred. Thank you so much for your prayers for us!
