Incredibly wonderful to hear, and exciting to consider the possibility of an open/international adoption.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you have to wait so long to see Sweetpea. Soon the waiting will be over and you can start your mothering in person!<BR/><BR/>eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25888753.post-1161309203366421672006-10-19T20:53:00.000-05:002006-10-19T20:53:00.000-05:00Well, she spoke toddler Amharic and kept it for aw...Well, she spoke toddler Amharic and kept it for awhile, but has lost almost all of it. I say lost, but it is in there somewhere. An Ethiopian gentleman we met said that speaking both is too hard for a child that young. He speaks Amhaic to his daughters everyday, but they no longer can speak it back. It is in her head though, and she wants to take lessons with us when she's 6 (she said - LOL)Beth Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699804487443359309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25888753.post-1161278129878872192006-10-19T12:15:00.000-05:002006-10-19T12:15:00.000-05:00Aaaaaaaaaaa I'm so glad you're back.

I'm glad you wrote about the open adoption, as I think that's best for everyone.<BR/><BR/>Does Honeybun still speak Amharic (or Tigrinya or whatever it was), or only English? Is there any way you could keep the language for her? It's interesting that she told you stories in English of things that happened in another language.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606922510495018342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25888753.post-1161220284307126662006-10-18T20:11:00.000-05:002006-10-18T20:11:00.000-05:00What lucky girls!
