For the Babies...

Dear Family and Friends,

Brian and I are slowly preparing to travel to Ethiopia to bring home Ayantu. Nothing is official yet...no dates, but as soon as we pass court things will be moving very quickly. During my free moments when Sahara is at Kindergarten in the afternoon I have been working through purchasing some of the things we will need for the trip when we go. We have kind of come up with a creative way to bless our friends in Ethiopia, specifically the babies. Instead of having a shower for Ayantu, we are going to ask you to purchase one can of Formula for us to take on our trip for the orphanage. There has been a constant lack of access to Formula for the babies. Our agency has asked those of us that bring formula to all bring the same kind so as not to upset the babies tummies with changes from one brand to another.

So...here's our request: would you be willing to buy one can of Similac Neosure Formula? I have included a picure of what it looks like. You can find it at Meijer's for $14.99 or at Target for $14.59. Our prayer is that we would have a suitcase overflowing with Formula to donate to the orphanage.

Hopefully soon...very soon...if you haven't already seen her, we will be able to post a picture of Ayantu on our blog. The day we're able to do that means she is officially our daughter!! Please pray for protection over our house, Sahara, and our marriage as we prepare to travel soon.

Thank you in advance for blessing the babies in Ethiopia!

With love,

Jen, Brian, Sahara and Ayantu
