It's a bitter sweet day. It's been two months since we received our referral and are still waiting for a court date. A.J. is nearing 6 months old and we miss her more and more. I love my baby girl, but today is a little hard to take in.
I do want to give thanks to a special family, despite this hard day. If it were not for the Zimmer family and their little Addia we would not be writing this blog to say the least. I can't remember now what holiday it was when we received an email from them, but we saw Addia's face for the first time in this email. It was such a beautiful little face that we just kind of looked at it for a few minutes without saying a word. Michael, my husband, then turned to me and said "I think they adopted her from Ethiopia"...I just looked at him and said " we should ask them about adopting from Ethiopia". We were in the midst of trying to conceive with no luck despite infertility treatments and had thought about adoption in the past. Little did we know that this email would change our lives. Within a few months we were sending in our application to adopt an infant girl from Ethiopia. Without that email we may never have thought of IA. It was such a blessing to receive that email in such a time of pain. Addia may never know how she changed our lives with just a simple email, but she has and we cannot thank her and her family,the Zimmer's, enough!! Thanks to them we now have a sweet little girl half way across the world. We owe them more thanks than we can ever say. Thank you Zimmer's! -Mommy 2 be
