Check out this etsy site
Okay, you know I'm selling soap to raise money for our adoption, but I just want to share about another etsy seller who makes beautiful jewelry and donates part of the profits to others who are adopting. (Gotta get her on board with our adoption! :) )

Received a referral for Abraham and we accepted!
As most of you already know, we received a referral for a 5 week-old boy named Abraham on November 3, 2009. I've shown pictures to almost everyone, but I can't post his picture on here until he is officially ours. We accepted the referral on November 6th.
We will keep Abraham's name since his birth mother named him AND I had it in my heart that he would have a Biblical name. His middle name will be Benjamin, soooo.... Abraham Benjamin Dreher was born on Sept. 29, 2009 in Addis Ababa. His mother relinquished him to an orphanage at birth and he has been in the caring hands of the staff at Hannah's Hope Orphanage since he was one month old.
Right now, our paperwork is being reviewed by the Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) in Addis Ababa. If they approve us to be Abraham's parents, they will send a letter of recommendation to the Ethiopian Court. From there, a court date is set to make us Abraham's legal parents. AGCI has staff workers who will testify on our behalf. After everything is made legal in court, we will be given an Embassy date. That date is usually a couple of weeks after the court date. It's for the Embassy meeting that we travel to Ethiopia to get Abraham's birth certificate and visa and to bring him home. Right now, we're anticipating traveling within the next 2 - 4 months. We are anxious to have him, but we've learned that everything works out so much better when God goes before us.
We bought a couple of items to mail to Abraham; a baby photo album that he can chew on and see pictures of himself with his new family and a stuffed elephant that plays lullabye music.
