A visit with a new/old friend

This past week we had the opportunity of connecting with an new/old friend. While in Salt Lake we went to go see a family who adopted a little boy from Ethiopia and from the same orphanage as Damien. It was a wonderful day. I have been talking to a new friend of mine named Jennifer and she is the mom. (We actually went through the same agency.) Well, both our sons knew each other and we only found that out when we exchanged pictures. Both our sons looked at the pictures and identified the kid they were looking at. So, we finally got together and it was wonderful. The little boys looked at each other and were confused. But after some time all 7 kids were playing (3 of mine and 4 of hers.) It was a great visit and I hope we can do it again. It is so nice to have kids from the same background as my son. What an amazing time.

That is so amazing! Those boys must have been delighted to see each other again! I'm really happy for you that you were able to meet with someone that has been through the same thing as you! It must have been so much fun to exchange stories!
