Ethiopian Adoption

A soft, cute, black baby doll

>> Monday, February 2, 2009

The other day I was in a store looking at children's clothes (yes, I admit it...I was drawn to the little girls clothes) and I saw a cute soft baby doll, but it was white with blond hair. So, I started searching on the internet for another soft baby doll that is black. I had such a hard time finding what I was looking for. I did find a soft baby doll that was black, but it wasn't cute, not at all. :( 

I was so excited when I saw this doll at a shop that sells things from Africa!! It's so cute and very African, just like my baby girl will be! 

The doll is not only dressed in African clothing, but she is also carrying her own little baby on her back, just like they do in Ethiopia!! It's so precious! 

It reminded me of when we were in Ethiopia picking up Joseph and some shop keepers showed me how to carry my little boy like they do. :) 

Obviously he doesn't need to be carried any more. Though he still loves to be held, he also loves to walk and run. This picture was taken just a couple days ago.
