He was so tiny then and we didn't know if he would survive. His lips were bluish and when we had challenges with paperwork and we thought we would have to turn around and take him back, I cried and protested, knowing he needed to get health care fast. Thankfully we were able to continue. My husband and I have 5 kids- three of whom are from Ethiopia and we have been praying for Bonsa since. We were thrilled when he was referred and thrilled more to see that he is home with his forever family. I have pics of him on that trip so email me and I could send them to you. Many blessings to you and your hubby and your sweet baby!!
