Dawit's Arrival





Hello! So sorry it took me a while to blog about this. Dawit arrived last week and he is such a cutie! It was so exciting seeing him come home. For those of you that are unfamiliar, the airport arrival is super exciting. It's like a big welcome home party right there in the airport. We can't wait until you all can come see the boy's arrival!
Dawit has adjusted so well and his sisters are in love with him. As you can see from the pics, his sister was very insistent on giving him his bottle. For those of you who don't know Dawit's story, it is such a miracle that he is here. He was very underweight in the orphanage because he was premature and had a cleft palate. The nannies did not know the correct way of feeding him, so he was not gaining any weight. Thankfully, a doctor from the states was able to see him and brought some special bottles for babies with a cleft palate. He has been thriving ever since! It has been very inspiring to see Dawit come home.
Brittney and James were able to get some great pictures and video of the boys. We can't post them here, but would be happy to show them to you in person. They are getting so big! The Armstrongs said that they had just gotten up from a nap and were very shy. Chera told them thank you for their things we sent. It's very surreal to watch them opening the gifts that we sent.

Please keep our boys in your prayers!
Donna
