For those of you who don't know (probably just my friends and family...smile), today is the day that Ethiopia entered into the new millennium. Based on the Ethiopian calendar September 12, 2000 is the first day of the new millennium so you know what that means? PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Although this journey has been a long one, I do not regret any moment of it! However, you may if you have been following for these years. This journal is being created for my daughter so she will never have any doubt from where she came, who she is and how much she is loved. Before I decided to adopt I lacked motivation, she motivates me and makes life worth living again.
