August 22nd, 2010

Howdy!!!
I know we haven't posted in forever. Life has been flying by! We are officially going to Ethiopia on September 24th and by Sept 30th will have the boys in our arms forever! We will then return home on October 1st and be the Johnson Family of 4!

We promise to post more about our travels through the villages of Ethiopia and our time in Addis Ababa!

On another note...We would be blessed to have your help!!!!....
Taft has a reaction to the formula he is being fed and now that we have legal custody can send formula to the orphanage with other familes to leave for him. We were hoping we could find another family leaving to Addis immediately, but have not been so lucky. If anyone knows of any families, with any agency, gouing to the Toukoul orphanage is the near future we would do anything, absolutelt anything, to be able to send a few weeks worth of specialized formula with them. We have exhausted all other opportunities and seem to be grasping at air now, but you never know. Gos provides is some strange ways!

    This is such great news! You will have your boys in just over a month. God is so good! Wish we could help with the formula situation. Let us know when we can come meet these beautiful babies. Much love, Mom/Jean/Nene

    We are planning to cocoon for a long while to prevent bonding and attachment issues. We are going to be on lock down just the Johnson family of 4 for a while we hope, before visitors. After that period lets chat!

    Nikki,

    I don't know where that orphanage is in reference to our agency's transition home, but we do have a couple of families travelling for embassy this week (probably leaving Friday). Would you like me to post this to our message board?

    I can't wait to hear all about your time there!
