Daniel's birthday and a year ago today the news that our adoption case passed through the Ethiopian courts and that Melkamu was legally our son. That morning, I was checking my e-mail every five minutes waiting to hear news of how our court date had gone. Finally, Daniel was up and about and I had him check his e-mail and there was the news! It was very exciting and then very sobering. After a few minutes of joy, I think we were both scared to death...it's legal...someone thinks we can be parents...do they know what they are doing? Do we know what we are doing?

Well, no, really we have no idea what we are doing, but a year later we have our son home. We have been together for 9 months and celebrate Daniel's birthday this year with our boy close by.
