Info for families North of Nashville

Hey everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the start of summer. We are recovering from our trip (see pics below) and busy with swim lessons this week - so our summer is off to a fun start!

I wanted to tell you all about a group that I am part of starting here in the North Nashville/Sumner County area. Several other adoptive mommas (some home with their kiddos, some waiting for referrals like we are) are forming a group called CAFE North (no, it's not a coffee house; CAFE stands for Christian Adoptive Families of Ethiopia). We are striving to be a fellowship group for other families that have adopted from Ethiopia, in the process of adopting, or even just curious about the adoption process. You can request to join our group on Facebook, or contact me for more details. We are also working on forming a YAHOO message board group. So if you have thought about adoption and would like to "hang" with some other adoptive families, we would love to meet you! Our first family event is this Saturday evening (June 19th). Again, if you are interested just let me know and I will get you the details.

Something else that CAFE North is working on putting together is an Intro to Adoption Tea for ladies that just want to come and ask questions and hear info about international adoption. This will not be "Ethiopia-specific", and we welcome ANYONE who is interested in international adoption. This will be a very stress-free, non-committal way that you can come and ask the questions you have concerning international adoption. The date we have set for this event will be Saturday July 17th. Again, contact me if you are interested and please PASS THE INFO ON to your friends!

MACY UPDATE: Nothing new to report. I swear, hanging out at the TOP OF THE LIST seems to be the hardest place to wait! UGH! I contacted our caseworker today, and there hasn't been much happening. She says they expect a few referrals in the next week or so, but doesn't think any of them are toddler girls. So...we...just...continue...to...wait.
