The wonderful thing that happened, was Naing went to Safeway instead of Fred Meyer. He stopped at the store on the way home from work and went to Safeway(we hardly ever shop at Safeway) where when he was in the checkout line, he saw a man with two boys that had to be from Ethiopia. He approached him and asked if his sons were from Ethiopia and they started to chat. Chris and his wife, Mindy adopted twin boys from Ethiopia when they were three months old. They were one of the first couples to adopt from Ethiopia with Dove Adoptions. They invited us to come over and meet their family and also meet two other couples who live in our town of Newberg, Oregon that are adopting from Ethiopia as well. Now the kicker, we all live within 5 blocks of each other. I'm so excited our children will go to school together and know other children from Ethiopia. I was worried about our children being the only black children in school, but now I don't have to worry about that.
Meeting these families really motivated Naing to finish his paperwork. It made it more real for him. We are so thankful we met them.
