Katie, Tim & Cale Nester...

...would love it if you would follow along as we record our adoption journey. We feel blessed to be called to adopt a son from Ethiopia!
About our journey:
- We requested "either" gender, 0-18 months.
- We received our referral of Megersa on Nov 5, 2009; he was 2 months old.
- Megersa's name is pronounced "Meh-gur-sah."
- Our case was submitted on Dec 18, 2009 and our court date was Jan 27, 2010. We were fortunate to pass court on the first try!
- Tim's mom and I left for Ethiopia on March 8, 2010 for an Embassy appointment of March 10, 2010. We passed!
- Megersa met the rest of his family in the US 3.13.10.
- When we re-adopt him, his full legal name will be Megersa Jace Nester.

to our baby

Dear Baby,
Your Aunt Elizabeth had her second daughter today. Your new cousin's name is Tessa Rose. She was born at 1:16 am, weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz, and measuring 20 inches.
It's an exhilarating time, Baby...listening to the little descriptions about a new baby after birth - for this helps us to relate to this new little person.
But it really makes me think about you. We may not know the exact time you were (or will be) born or what you weighed in at (or will), but we do know that we love you and desperately can't wait to meet you. Don't be discouraged, Baby...because we will have different facts. We will have the exact time and date God showed us to you. And the reaction on your face when you saw us for the first time. And we will have proof of where we were in our life when we got you (because we are definitely going to keep copies of all that paperwork! :)
God made you special, Baby, and we will cherish the facts we get!
