A surprise!

I've been meeting a lot of new people because of our adoption. Everyone has a friend who's adopted or thinking about adopting. More interesting still has been the friends of friends that are Ethiopian.

I've recently met two wonderful Ethiopian women. Both were so incredibly friendly and gracious. One treated me like a saint! The other told me a most marvelous piece of information. I ask her if she by chance knew the meaning of our son's name Denekew. And she told me it means a kind of surprise.
