Ethiopian Adoption Story - Our Journey to Josanna - 2010
This is our Ethiopian adoption story. Josanna is our beautiful girl that we adopted from Ethiopia in July 2010. She was 9-months old at the time. We went through Le Toukoul Orphanage in Addis Ababa and Dove Adoptions International. The video documents our journey to get Josanna (birth name is Mihret). We stayed at YGF private hotel (guest house). The trip and the adoption was a wonderful experience. Updates on how Josanna is doing can be found here: myjosanna.com

Thank you!
She is so adorable I just cries beautiful story god bless you
@wodindog The baby cot was provided by the airline KLM. Just ask for one when you book your tickets. It was so nice to have as our daughter was not used to being held all the time and it gave her and us a little break. Yeah for you guys that you have opened up your hearts to Ethiopia. It is a wonderful country and our expirience was awesome!

omg..she is soo cute..god bless
Thank you and God bless
So beautiful baby😪
It is a great sadness that there are orphans in the world. Of course I would rather that all children could stay with their biological families and never have to go through the loss of their family and having to live in an orphanage. But this is the reality of this world. We chose to give a loving home to an orphan who otherwise would grow up in an orphanage, if she survived at all. Everyone has a choice, ours was to give love and family to a child in need.
Beautifull baby .Congratulacions❤️
God bless you!
Beauty !!
god bless your little child ....... just some few words about a group based in malta on facebook called adoption from ethiopia if you wish to enter and pls spread the word ... it would be nice for parents who adopted from ethiopia to share their experiences on this group thanks and congratulations ............
Beautiful Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@lovin2840 Thank you for your input. I will certainly look into that camp once our daughter is old enough. We have a local man here from Ethiopia who has offered to teach amharic and I am planning on taking advatage of that in a few years as well. Thank you!
@TeTe20121 The process took about 18 months from the time we started paperwork to the time we brought our daughter home. She is such a sweetie and she fits right into our family.
Stupendo video che sprizza amore da tutti i pori.

What type of commercial are you filming?

Hi. My name is Sebrina lee I’m ten years old nearly 11 I don’t know if u will see this but I just thought it was a coincidence that I was adopted from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 in 2010 I was adopted into England I was found on a road out neAr harer somewhere around Haramaya the lady who found me guessed I was a few weeks old so said my birthday was July 8th if you are wondering why this account says Julian lee is because this is my dads iPad
i cried!!

Muito lindo esse vídeo, crianças lindas pais lindos Deus abençoe sua família maravilhosa ❤️
Unfortunatly there are about 140 million orphans in the world and Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries on earth. The reality is most orphans once they age out often turn to crime including prostitution to survive, many of them commit suicide so while it would be great if they could remain in their country and be adopted into loving Ethiopian families it just doesn't happen so the lesser of 2 evils is to be adopted into loving foreign homes & hopefully they will at least learn about E culture
Such beautiful babies
Ciao bella bambina ecarina ciao
Ciao che o visto il vidio la famiglia sono tre belli i bambini carini ciao tutti ingrosso bacione ciao
