We found an Ethiopian Friend!

So upon returning home Teferi told us about his good friend E. He told us grand stories about E. and for a while we were certain that his friend E. was a very large adult man. Teferi described him as very "Conca" which means big and described big adventures with E. But later when we watched the video we brought home of him playing with his friends at the care center he pointed out E. E. was about an inch taller than Teferi and Scott and I laugh so hard :) Anyway, I contact our social worker to see if we could connect with E. family, since E. has been the only person he has talked about (except for T. and TS. which was the sibling group adopted with Teferi - also good friends - we love you T and TS). Our social worker connected with the family and they actually live in MN! How crazy is that - two friend adopted from Ethiopia living in the same state just 2 hours apart! We are so thrilled for Teferi. E's family really wants to have the boys keep in touch as much as we do - even better. God must have understood that Scott and I couldn't have handled adopting a sibling group - so he did the next best thing - sents us an Ethiopian friend.

Thank God for good friends!
