Gorgeous pics! I love the bellies!
Congratulations to all the new siblings and especially to Mom and Dad! You are an inspiration!
Heidi,
I would love to ask a few questions of you. God has placed adoption from Africa on our hearts for the past year and a half and I marvel at what he's done in your family.
Is is possible to email you with some questions we have? Our email is keffercrew@gt.rr.com.
We are a family of 6. My husband is a full time associate minister and we live in Texas. Feel free to check out our blog, keffercrew.blogspot.com
Blessings, Kim
Congratulations! Your family is beautiful!

Welcome home! Praying you are all adjusting well! I know those first few months can be really hard but just look at the smiles in this photo during those tough days and it will get you through! Can't wait to see your documentary!
Many Blessings
Joy
Congratulations!!
I found your blog this morning and felt an immediate connection. We have 4 biological kids, have adopted 2 (Guatemala, Ethiopia) and are in the process of adopting 2 sisters (ages 8 & 6).
Thanks for sharing your family and blog.
Greetings from New Mexico. The promo for your documentary is making its way around the adoption world and hopefully beyond! We have court in TWO short days and hope to bring home an Ethiopian princess shortly! Thank you for sharing your story and your heart!
Hi there My name is Melissa Carter and I found your blog when someone uploaded the promo for the documentary to my husband's FB. Like you we have 9 kids, all adopted except one. I just arrived home 3 days ago with my three from Uganda. Congratulations on your new babies! I would like to follow your blog if that is ok. our blog is http://oneeggshortofadozen.blogspot.com
Blessings to you and your beautiful family. I also sell my art work to raise money for orphan relief and adoption.My husband an I want to raise awareness like you that adoption is doable. Blessings, Melissa Carter
Hi Heidi,
I just realized that you live in Nashville. We live only two hours away in Florence, AL. WE come to Nashville quite often and maybe sometime we can meet.
I also noticed that you are reading one of Heidi Bakers books and Tom Davis' books! They are awesome people! Blessings, Melissa Carter
