Our Adoption Journey

• Apr. 9, 2008 - We are home

We arrived home Saturday from Ghana.  We had a great trip.  It was exhausting because it is such a long journey, but all in all it was good.

Our oldest son Jacob went with.  What an amazing experience for him.  He loved Ghana and wanted to stay longer.

We went to the beach one day.  Jacob loved jumping in the waves and made a few Ghanaian friends.  Arama liked the water too, but did not venture out far.

The next day we went shopping at the art market.  They have so many vendors selling things.  Jacob learned how to barter and how difficult it can be.

We bought some drums, jewlery, wooden elephants, hippo, and giraffes.

Arama has been transitioning well.  She loves having a mommy and a daddy.  She loves her siblings, too.

Arama has had a few weepy moments, but that is to be expected.

I just keep praying for wisdom & discernment.

We are all so happy to welcome our new daughter home!

Thank you Lord, for the blessing of adoption.
