We have been so blessed by the support and generosity of those around us. We pray that God will bless you all as you have blessed our family. What really amazes us is how many people we do not personally know who have heard our story through friends and relatives and have given to us. Thank you for the love you have shown our family (both present and future members)!! As the Ethiopians would say, AMASAGNALAHU ("thank you" in Amharic, although I can't vouch for the correctness of the translation).

~Love, Brian and Autumn
