We are proud to announce that we have given our beautiful son the name Isaac. (Over the past couple of months we've really been able to relate to the story of Abraham and Sarah.) His middle name, Tamerat (pronounced "Tom-mer-aht"), is the name his birth mother gave him. We wanted to honor her and her love for him by keeping Tamerat in his name. Isaac's birth mother endured a lot of rejection as a result of her pregnancy, yet she still chose to call him "miracle". Hopefully this will be some comfort to him later in life when he begins to ask questions about his birth mother and her decision to take him to the orphanage.
Unfortunately, we can not post photos of our son on the Internet until we bring him home. This is a request of the Ethiopian Government. If you wish to see him you will have to come take a look at our refrigerator door.
His proud grandparents also have interesting refrigerators.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful name - and even more beautiful when I hear the reason behind your choice!
ReplyDeleteI am keeping you before the Lord that His Will and His Way will be worked out in the Court hearing so that renewed paperwork will not need to be filed!
