Perpective Story

Some of the ways that Niya reacts to events are obviously shaped because she lived in Ethiopia. Here is the beginning of a story I wrote, entitled "Perspective", for the blog on the Hope in Ethiopia. website  Give it a read!

Matt and I have been in the Ethiopian adoption process for 2 ½ years and finally in October we were able to bring our toddler daughter home. She joins her two brothers who were adopted from Russia several years before.

Between the two of us, Matt and I have had the great privilege of taking several trips to Ethiopia. We value the culture and love the people of Ethiopia so much more because of our time spent there. As we transition as a family, it has been wonderful to be able to see the cultural traits our Ethiopian daughter brought with her even as a toddler.
