I live about 35 miles from DC and we are traveling to Addis in the next 8 weeks or so to pick up our newly referred daughter from Horizon House. Do you think I could bring things to Fifi's children too? Let me know if you think it could help. God bless, Kristin Cushen <BR/>cushinus@aol.com (do you post things with the WHFC yahoo group?

I love that God placed your mother next to the RED CEO -- so, so cool! And, it's amazing that your kids got to meet W, too. What a memory! By the way, my cousins heard Ms. Rice speak in Ethiopia (they are missionaries in Uganda and adopted their youngest there). The kids and I prayed for you and your little ones this morning... Praying for your referral, Em!
