My friends, adoption is redemption. It's costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed Him." --Derek Loux

I have enjoyed reading several of your posts. Someone named Cristiana Michaels pointed me here. We live in Lincoln, IL and are DTE 4-9-10 for siblings from Ethiopia. She said there is a get together May 15 (which is LCU grad day so we can't come--husband works for LCU), but I would be interested in hearing more about your central IL group. Please keep in touch!

Great quote Sherry... Loved catching up with your family this afternoon-- though you didn't even know it!! I have been the absent blogger. We are doing well; still adjusting and growing and bonding, but doing well :)
Love to you!
