The Eernisses



Friday was a special day we've been looking forward to for several weeks! We got to meet the Eernisses! Sharon works for Bethany in Grand Rapids and was very helpful to us at various stages in Ellie's adoption (she works with families adopting from Lithuania and Albania). Her husband, Roger, has visited Albania where he evidently learned the art of making a great first impression with Albanian kids because he hit it off very well with Ellie, as you can see in some of these photos! We appreciate the detour they made from their visit to Berea, KY to have lunch with us in Wilmore so we could meet them in person!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is a 'double blog-er' day, so keep scrolling down for another post...

What a special priviledge to meet Sharon!! Remember that wonderful day when she called to tell you, "We have a baby for you. She's a little girl!!!"

Actually, Jan was the person from Bethany who called -- I don't want her to feel left out. Hopefully someday we'll have the chance to meet her too. Jan and Sharon work together in the same office and due to the fact that Jan was completing her own adoption about the same time, we had the privilege of working with Sharon much of the time we were making our plans to leave and pick up Ellie.
