Two of my favorite things -- drinking coffee and talking about our future children from Ethiopia. I enjoyed both last night alongside about 10 other women who have adopted or are in process at La Madeleine in San Antonio. The group meets once a month for coffee and chatter. If you're in the area, let me know, and I'll add you to the email list. About half the women, like myself, are connected to Ethiopian adoptions. But there were many mothers who had adopted through foster care, from China, Russia and a few more places around the world.
One of the mothers-to-be -- Jennifer -- is fundraising to build two wells in Ethiopia through Charity Water instead of fund raising for her adoption of a little girl from Ethiopia. Her husband gave up his birthday for the cause. One well funded, they're going strong are raising enough to fund well #2. Check out their story. Jennifer is a professional photographer and her talent bleds through on her blog that is juicy, colorful and fun to look at.
