Tomorrow we board a plane.
Tomorrow I say good bye to my two children here in order to say hello to my child there.
Tomorrow I have many hours to sit and think about what lies ahead.
I am very excited for tomorrow. The day I’ve longed for so long is almost here.
*We will try to post while in Addis. Electricity is still sporadic according to past travelers. I am married to a technological genius so if there is power, there will be posts and pictures. Thank you for your prayers and support as we begin this next part of our journey to Desta!

I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.

I can’t believe you are actually going!!! I am so excited for you and I can’t wait to meet your sweet daughter!
Yeah! Praying for a safe and happy trip!!! Soak it ALL in. It goes fast and I asure you, you will miss it and the people you travel with! Will follow along!
Woo hoo, it’s almost time to board the plane! I am so excited for you! I can’t wait to read the posts from ET and see pics of beautiful Desta! Thank you for loving on our baby girl!
You are in my prayers!
Melodie, I send you beautiful wishes of a fulfilling time in Ethiopia as you meet your sweet babe.
