I can't even tell you how emotionally invested I feel in your journey to meet Abe! God is creating quite the legacy in your family!
Although, we have never met. I am so happy for your family and the tears haven't stopped. It's amazing and so wonderful that you have opened up your hearts and your home to little Abe. My hearts just reaches out to all the other children that are still behind. But, you can see from the gifts that you left for them. God Bless you and your family and wish you safe travels back home... GOD BLESS
Okay there are about 50 more people in this world who are now in love with your new family. I am asking for permission late to send the video to all of my friends and family. Your story is so deeply a part of our family, my girls were glued to the video and we have already watched it 4 times. I broke down at the pic of the girl with shoes on 4 sizes too small...we are in love with the Kingdom orphanage. Thanks for sharing. Many blessings we pray for you and yours.
TEARS OF JOY! PRAISE GOD!!!

Again, with the tears. Emily, how sweet it was for all of us to see yall with that sweet boy. The pictures of each of you with Abe was just precious. Zach and I just today was locating on the map of yalls journey and for him to see those pictures was a treat.
Thanks for sharing the journey with us.
We loved the gotcha video. We wept and remembered so vividly our gotcha day with Joshua. We went back through our photos from Russia with our family and praised the Lord for the gift of adoption. Abe is a handsome and blessed young man. We look forward to meeting Abe and hearing the WHOLE adventure. Love and prayers to the Alexander-7.
I've been to your page many times, but never left a comment. What a beautiful thing it was to witness this miracle through pictures. Thanks for letting me take a sneak peek. I can't wait until my husband gets home, so I can show this to him. He has been to Addis and will absolutely love seeing this. May God continue to bless you all. If I never get to see you on earth, I will see you in heaven! Praise the Lord!
I forgot to mention what a beauty Abe is! Those curls! Those lips! He's delicious =) And how wonderful to see him in Avery's arms too. The best!
Praise God!!!! I haven't cried this much happy tears since Daniel's Adoption Day July 9, 2008! That was the best video/ slideshow ever!!!! I am so happy for your family!!!!God Bless all of you and have a good rest of the trip with your precious Abe!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BABY ABE!!!!

We all watched together and the kids had tears and I am a wreck - bawling. What an amazing video - thank you for sharing it. We continue to pray for all of you. Your family is one of God's miracles. Be safe on your journey. Can't wait to see Abe!
Oh my, I have watched this video over and over and each time I cry harder than the last! Thank you for sharing and letting us glimpse you angels in action! Abe has a look of joy...as if his heart recognizes you and says. "So, you're who Jesus told me all about. I've been waiting."Amazing!
OH my Oh my! Cry Fest.
Love the pictures of you, Emily, first seeing Abe. Love the picture of Moody kissing Abe while you are holding him. And absolutely love the pictures of Avery with her precious little cry face as she is holding Abe!
Abe is gorgeous Team Alexander! What an amazing family you all are!
Much Love!!
ok, have watched 7 times now ... i can't stop looking at all of your faces ... Emily the one right before you get him just screams "THANK YOU LORD FOR MAKING ME A MOM." And precious Avery's lil heart just speaks volumes about her relationship w/ the Lord ... Moody hugging the Director man says brotherhood ... Every picture screams God's plan for our lives ...
I am so just so happy for you all and will pray daily for all those sweet faces !!!!
WHAT AN AMAZING VIDEO.
And when Isabella is holding him... I WANTED TO SCOOP HER UP!
OH MY GOODNESS.

Thank you for sharing! It is such a blessing to visually share in your joy.
Love you,
Scott, Monica and Yordee
We are leaving the 30th to pick up our daughter at Hope's orphanage. We have a referral on a 6 yr. old boy at KVI. I was told he is now in Addis (was in Nazareth) His name is Wendmagegn. We have had only our profile picture and wondered if you may have pictures of him. We do plan to spend alot at KVI when we get there. Love your photo's. You can contact me @ corrie.sorensen@utahhomes.com .
Oh you guys- There really aren't words to express this day for your family. You will never be the same. Rob and I both were tearing through the whole video. We are so happy for you guys. That sweet Avery had me in tears- she was just like Josie when we brought Caden home!! So sweet!!
What a blessing and privilege sharing this day with you has been! The reality of God's joy upon adopting His children is so beautifully imaged on Emily's face as she awaits her son. The tears of joy from Avery are indescribable, and Moody's fatherly touch so reflects the soft hand of our Heavenly Father. Issy's face, the boys' looks, the drop-dead gorgeous aunt and grand-mother...on and on and on. The tears in SA are flowing! Blessings on you all.
I can't get over the beauty of that video! It perfectly captured your whole family and your incredibly handsome Abe! The detail of the hanging wash with the Texas shirt sent me in to ugly girl crying status.
What a wonderful day... thank you for sharing with us.
Many congratulations to you and your wonderful family.
God Bless you all
Beautiful pictures! I love that you showed so many of the orphanage. Your son is just gorgeous!
Emily & Moody,
We rejoice with you!!!!!!
Mary & Darren Stoelzing
Your family is such a blessing, and I don't mean just to those in Ethiopia. You have touched lives here in TX in ways you may never know. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. Can't wait to meet Abe! We are continuing to pray for you all.
Pop! I think my heart just E-X-P-L-O-D-E-D for you all. Ahhh! I heard that you all were on your way so I checked your blog and BOOM! Emily is with outstretched arms (along with the rest of the family)...Africa has always captivated my heart since family lives there BUT you get to bring a little piece of heaven home. Oooooh. Savor that little bitty man...as I know you will!
Blessings---
Kemery
so beautiful...I have tears down my face as I envision holding my daughter for the 1st time next month..I can't wait..God is so good!!!!
Wow! Get your guns up. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Emily's face at finally seeing and holding the blessing and Avery's emotion...All I can think of is how good God is. Abe is so happy. I loved watching each of the kids and Em and Moody with Abe. Thanks for sharing the moment. Y'all are beautiful. And now just a little more beautiful!
Are you serious, the rest of those kids don't have homes? They looked so full of joy and so loved. What a wonderful ministry KVI has. Byrd
so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us...we cried. watched it again. and cried. watched it again. and cried. it's justs so wonderful!
He makes all things beautiful in His time! Beautiful Abe, beautiful children, beautiful family. Wow! He is so good.
As a fellow adoptive parent I have been following your blog since January and feel like I know your family (: I know the joy you are exeperiencing can not be compared to anything else. The same joy we experienced 8/27/07 in China when our little Emi was placed into our arms.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Kristin T.
My heart is full!! What an amazing treasure you have in that video-- The joy each of you have as you're meeting Abe for the first time-- well, it's priceless and a HUGE gift for Abe to see when he's older.
AMAZING!!!

Maureen
That was so beautiful. When your daughter was holding her new brother and the emotion she was not embarrassed to show just blew me away.
The children of Ethiopia are beautiful and just capture my heart.
God bless you and this journey with your new son.
I can't even breath I'm crying so hard. I'm so excited for you guys. You are an amazing family with such an awesome heart for the Lord and His people. These pictures truly capture your hearts and the Fathers heart for the fatherless.
Abe is amazing...absolutely breathtaking.
I just want to go scoop all of those kids up and bring them home with me.
Sweet Family!!!! So joyous for you! What a beautiful day. Praise God.
What a beautiful, intense moment in your lives! He is beyond precious- perfect gift from God- To HIM be the glory!!!

Thank you for sharing your story! I had tears (of joy!) watching your latest slideshow. Congrats to you all (& what a beautiful family you have).
Bennett kept asking why was I crying and Annie asked if my face looked like yours when she became ours. Yes, but you were screaming and terrified of me and only wanted Daddy! Love it Love it!! I can't wait to meet Abe!
Carrie
That was one of the most visually beautiful stories I've ever seen out here in blogland! Thank you for posting it. Blessings to your family.
Carol P.
Oh my gosh. I found your blog about a week ago through the Bottomlys. I have to say this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Your daughter's face is the sweetest thing as she holds her new brother. Absolutely beautiful.
Loved it. Beyond words.....my heart swells.
Blessings.
That was amazing! I laughed and I cried...actually cried more laughed. It brings back all of the emotions from our trip to Ethiopia last month to pick up our daughter. Seeing the faces of the children made my heart ache. I pray all of those children know the love of a family.
Abe is just precious and I love the emotions shown by your children. Adoption truly is a family affair! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gotcha moments.
That is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen! You can't see that and not cry. Congratulations!
OK, let's get these comments to over 100 ... hoping your day is blessed ... praying you all home !!!
Tears are streaming down my face. It began with the first pic of Em holding Abe then came flooding with the pics. of Avery crying. I am so happy for you guys. it made me want to be back bringing home another one. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Oh my goodness. I had chills through this entire video. and I sobbed. (my cubicle neighbors are alarmed). I am so happy that you have him. all that hair!!!!! congrats. what a beautiful family
Just tryin' to help you hit 100. :)
I'm on the edge of my seat for more pictures!
O.K bring on day 5! Hope you guys have had an incredible 24 hours with your sweet Abe! I can't wait to hold him AGAIN!!!!!!!
All of our love!
I have watched your Gotcha Day video several times. It is just beautiful and I can see the Father's love just overflowing in your family's hearts.Your son is beautiful. Praying for your family.

Lenka
Beautiful pictures! Congratulations. I'm sure you made sure that all of the children that you are showing on this public blog have passed court...
That is the first time I have seen the entire family go over! How amazing. What a sweet, sweet big sister. Thank you for sharing!
Emily- all I can say is that I don't think meeting you son could have been more perfect. I really loved watching your little girl hold her brother for the first time, the love she has in her eyes for Abe was beautiful to see. Wishing you safe travels home!
Renee
Sweet Emily,
I only wish I was there to experience it too! My heart has been so filled with joy since you posted the video last night. What an awesome and great God!

Such a beautiful video & such a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing this most special day with us.
The boys are going crazy over Abe! Wishing you a safe and blessed trip!
Stephen, Lisa, Patrick, Bailey & Michael White
Alexanders,
What a privilege to participate in your big day with you through the video. You are getting to work with God in something that is impacting His kingdom significantly and eternally...within and outside of your family. All that hard work and stress of the past months is worth it! We can't wait to meet Abe.
With love,
The Westovers

I am so happy for your family, thanks for letting all of us share in your joy.
I don't know you, but I'm friends with Gwen Oatsvall and followed a link from her blog to your blog. WOW - what an awesome video! Very moving pictures! My girls are singing that song in children's choir right now, and seeing the video with that song playing really brings the song to life. I love the pictures of your daughter crying as she's seeing/holding her new brother. What a precious sight! You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing such a moving video.

Found you quite by accident and cried like a baby watching your video. The little girl in the pink sweater...goodness. I hope very soon that my family will be blessed to bring a wee one just like her home. :) Congratulations!
