SEPTEMBER 15, 2008

I received another e-mail from Judy, the other adoptive mom who contacted me, who is now back in the States with Samra. Here is what she said:

I really can't tell you enough about your daughter. She is a beautiful and wonderful child. I also remember your boy, but I didn't realize they were siblings. In any event, both children are supper great. They played well with the others, (some did not!) and seemed very well adjusted. You wait until you meet them. Bereket is absolutely the cutest thing. The picture you have does not nearly do her any justice. She has lovely little curls and the sweetest dark eyes....just sweet, sweet, sweet. You will love her the minute you meet her. I just couldn't help thinking while the children were playing how lucky someone was going to be to have her in their family. Well, please give me a call, and if I have a more current picture of her, I will send it. I have yet to go through my pictures.
