A converter and a sad baby

The guy we know in Addis hooked us up with a converter so we can charge our devices. He's a blessing!
Today while most of you were sleeping, we were picked up by Beza. She is our adoption officer here and works/worked for CWA. We went to the orphanage to pick up Melaku. It was highly emotional for Melaku and the orphanage staff. We stayed a few hours so everyone could say their good-byes adequately.
The staff was very happy for him and he was very upset to be leaving. We got back to the guesthouse around one. Melaku has cried most of the afternoon and evening except for the hour he slept. We are sad he's sad, but feel incredibly blessed that he was so attached to his nanny. We took his picture with her so he can always have it.
He also has a severe ear infection--liquid is literally dripping out of his ear. Please pray it heals quickly. Pray also that he begins to find comfort in our arms.
We feel very blessed to have him with us. We go to Embassy tomorrow and then home on Saturday!

  1. That's so exciting! Praying for healing for Melaku. Did you guys ever get his quilt finished that you were working on? If so, you should post a photo of it on Facebook. I'm so happy for you and your family. Safe travels and prayers! <3
