An update from Sharon and Keith

Another amazing day in Ethiopia - Today we traveled to Debra Zeit,
the city where Sitota was born. Her story is an incredible one. When
she is older and ready, she will decide if and when to share it. We
ate lunch at a beautiful resort. We had to say goodbye to Tigist
tonight (baby home Director) - very difficult. She and the caregivers
have taken extremely good care of our daughter the first year and a
half of her life - how does someone say thank you for such a thing as
that. We've had such an unbelievable experience here - far greater,
bigger, extraordinary than I ever imagined. We are thankful to God
for his grace and faithfulness and creative plan for our family. Our
daughter is indescribable - words fail, all the adjectives seem
inadequate, our gratefulness to God and all who made this possible
simply brings tears because earthly words can't touch what we have
been gifted with - Maya (means 'mine') Sitota (means 'gift') - my
gift, our gift in the most precious girl I've layed eyes on.
