inspiring stories for a Monday

If you have time, you should view the slideshow posted at the ethiHOPEia blog. Dan Forrest posted the link on his blog and it was very heartwarming to view. This is the blog site of his brother, Jacob, and his wife who adopted a child from Ethiopia recently. They were approved to adopt a brother and sister in the August 2008, but the girl died in October 2008 just before the adoption was complete. Dan Forrest wrote and published a piece called "Good Night Dear Heart" which is included at the end of the slideshow - as Jacob and his wife were able to visit her tiny grave in Ethiopia - marked “Etsegenet Forrest”. link to ethiHOPEia.com
