Wednesday Update

Yesaterday was another great day visiting the care center. We missed
the babies laying in the sun naked. When we got there the children
were all out in the yard playing. Tuesday, "Baby Ethi" was much more what
we expected. She was much more reserved and did not offer much
interaction. We are realizing that it will take a lot of time. We
played with all of the children and Ufayse did allow Kylee to hold her
again.

After our meeting we traveled about a hour to the country side
to a lakeside resort. It was like something out of the movies. It
was beuatiful. We were there with over 75 to 100 girls in the
Kichanae orphanage. It was wonderful to have authentic Ethiopian food
and to see all the girls. Later that night, we had a processing meeting
with a social worker and all the couples.

Overall, it was a great day. Charlsie has been a lifesaver. Marcus is doing well and Kylee had her
hair all braided. Our driver Soli (my new best fried) wants to take
Marcus to a stream spa to help his cough. We will probably go their
today. He is really worried about him coughing and wants him to get
better. Today we are going to get some souveniour shopping done and
visit the Lion zoo.

We have one more visit tomorrow and then we have court on Friday.
Everyone is saing the MOWA group should have a resolution soon. We
have meet many other great couples. We miss everyone and can't wait
to share all this with you.

All our love,

Mark, Marla, Kylee & Marcus
