Letters from Kids and Martha and Melkem.

Please pray really hard that we can find a family to Melkem and Martha (Ej's friends) When I think that there is no mother advocating for these kids it makes me really sad.. So I take their pleas to me very seriously. Martha is 9 and Melkem is 11. We are not adopting more than our three kids but I really want to find a family for these girls and pray that someone comes to our agency at AAI www.adoptionadvocates.org and will adopt them. They have been there for two years and are really close to Ej especially. Here are the letters.

From Yared:

To my dear Family,

How are you doing. I am doin good. I am a happy child. Here I am playing with my friend and I like to play with car toys. I like all kinds of food. I can’t wait until you come. I love you ….my love and peace be with you…Yared

From Kidist:

To my dear family,

How are you doing,

I love you very much. I can’t wait until you come. I like the color yellow and I like doing gymnastics. I like to eat cake, chocolate and ice cream. I like the dolls made in persons image. I like dogs, cats and rabbits. My favorite subject is math. I am sorry that I haven’t written you a letter until today. I am very glad that you are my family.

From Ejigayehu,

To my dear Family,

How are you doing. I am very happy because you are trying to find a family for Martha and Melkem. So When I found out your were trying to help out my friends it made me happy. I always tell her good things about you. Whatever you are doing for my friends it is like you are doing it for me. And I am counting the days until you come. Please give a kiss to my Dad, sisters and brother

Letter from Martha:

Dear Ejigayehu Mother,

I wish you and your family full health. Even though you are not my mother I see you as my mother. I thank you for all the effort you are putting to find me and my sister a family. I have been praying and asking God to find me a family so I can be with Ejigayehu.

Let us know if there is anything we can do. I like your pictures a lot. Please tell Lydia and Naty hello for me and thank you for me. We want to thank you for everything you have done. We pray that God will pay you back. I continue to pray for you and your family. I love you from the bottom of my heart. If it is God’s will and I can come to America I would like us to be friends.

Until we talk with another letter. Good bye, Martha

From: Melkem

Dear Whom I love Ejigayehu’s mother,

How are you doing? I am doing great.

I wanna thank you for all of the effort to get us a family. God will pay you back for what you have done. My hope is that you can find a family so we can go to America too with Ejigayehu. But God is the one who can do everything.

Please say hello to Lydia, Tsetuna, Erksalem for me.


Thank you and I love you,

God Bless You…Bye..Melken

Hi, Deanna! I can't get these girls off my mind...but we live in Wisconsin. :(

I would love to dialogue some more with you about older child adoption generally and these girls specifically. I just PMed Journeyman on the forum with my email address. I hope that's you guys! Could you email me sometime?
