What could be better than an Ethiopian welcome, FOVC style?

I met...


...Bereket's first mom (his birth mom) while we were in Ethiopia.

It was a needle-in-the-haystack, one-in-a-million kind of thing.

Being able to "see" Bereket's life before he joined our family...explains a lot about him. Helps us understand more.

I am so thankful to now have photos of Bereket's "home town," and of his little home, and of his first mom. His memories have been fading, and I hope the pictures will help him hold on to the first years of his life in Ethiopia.

Wow, his birth mom or a foster mom?

His real, actual birth mom. He spent all but a few months of his life with her before he joined our family!
