This year our family has decided not to buy Holiday gifts; instead are donating to our favorite organizations in honor of our family and friends. We are also sponsoring a child from Ethiopia in honor of our 3 mothers (I have more than one...as I was also adopted).
So, if you cannot think of something to give that person that has everything this season; give them a water buffalo or a trio of rabbits. These gifts multiply and end up helping out entire communities: http://www.heifer.org/
Or sponsor a child from Ethiopia: http://www.ahopeforchildren.org/
Or donate to the Down Town Clinic, our local free clinic for the uninsured at:
The Down Town Clinic

Happy Holidays!

Are you going to be able to sleep tonight? I have a feeling I'm going to struggle. Good luck with that! I'll be thinking of you and Simret at 4am.
Yup, I have been up since 4:30am struggling against calling Lisa. Now it is 7 AM and I could call her because it is 9AM her time, but what I would I say to her? She knows I want a court date and updated pictures. So, I have for now decided to wait. Yes WAIT! WAIT so more and if I don't hear anything today, I may go crazy. I hope you hear of court today. I am sending you positive energy!
It's 6:20 and I've been up for awhile. I am struggling against calling her also...I hate this waiting! Thank you for all the positive energy- it's appreciated and needed :) Know I'll be thinking of you and beautiful Simret! The candle is lit.
I broke down and emailed her this morning at 8am...no response yet and it is 11am. I just asked her if she had the opportunity to spend some time with Simret and asked how she was doing and if there is word on court. I hope to hear something soon!
