(as God has us adopting a daughter who is between 9-12 years old from Ethiopia).  It is new territory for us...so I am hoping to read about how God worked in your adoption. There is so much we don&amp;#39;t know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We too adopted from AGCI (Jan. 2009), but this time God is sending us to a different agency that is sponsering our daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sami is beautiful...watching her in all the pictures is amazing.  I would have guessed that she was with you for many years already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Thank you for encouraging and strengthening my heart, which at times becomes fearful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Kimmie&lt;br /&gt;mama to 7&lt;br /&gt;one homemade and 6 adopted</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1575917257746789555/1220285213859335816/comments/default/3502210398960508111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1575917257746789555/1220285213859335816/comments/default/3502210398960508111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com/2008/04/meeting-samrawit-march-24th.html?showComment=1256995724876#c3502210398960508111' title=''/><author><name>Kimmie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RFChP60lnJM/SXZoKDZON2I/AAAAAAAAE7E/1WuNxlX6X8g/S220/Ethiopia+january+2009+130.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com/2008/04/meeting-samrawit-march-24th.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-1220285213859335816' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1575917257746789555/posts/default/1220285213859335816' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1092437308'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-1467515729595601979</id><published>2008-04-15T18:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-15T18:23:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Praise GOD!!
