Guatemala lurkers

Let's have a roll call. Everytime I look at the Ethiopian forum I find another Guatemalan forum friend.
Let's see who all is lurking here.

We are thinking about Africa for our next adoption. Probably Liberia or Kenya, though. I guess we'll see what happens!

Yes, I admit to lurking here too. We have three homegrown and two Guatemalan angels. And for some reason I keep finding myself drawn to Ethiopia.

No plans to adopt again....yet.

Here as well

I'm guilty. Guatemala lurker at large. Gabriel's got teeth, is practically walking and is starting to shake his head "no" when he doesn't want to do something - he's officially not a baby any more! So, at some point next year I'll have to rectify that situation and bring another one home!

Guilty! My agency is thinking about starting an Ethiopian program. I am having a hard time staying away from here & from the Haiti forum.

I haven't even STARTED a Guat. adoption, but that was where I was first drawn to. With the uncertainty there, we've been thinking of Ethiopia! Just waiting on paperwork from the agency/agencies.

THis is the first time that I have looked at this forum. I started bursting out laughing. My husband and I are waiting for a referral from Guatemala & are curious about the Ethiopian program. This thread was just too fitting right now.

Another guat. lurker!! Like some of you, we haven't even finished our Guatemala adoption. Actually, before I even got on this board tonight I went downstairs and mentioned Ethiopia to my dh! Of course, that's a ways away for us timewise, but it's good to be informed on what's out there.

Blessings,

OK, this is cracking me up. Another Guat lurker here who is drawn to Ethiopia. Not sure why as we really aren't serious about another adoption. But still, can't help but wonder...
