In the past 2 weeks, I have purchased this beautiful doll that is based on a little girl in Ethiopia. We have other brown dolls, but oddly, none of them have curly hair. This doll has a gorgeous head of perfectly curly hair and I just got her yesterday. She is available at many stores, but we got her through Target. Her name is Rahel and she is part of a series of dolls. Part of the proceeds from their sale supports World Vision efforts in Ethiopia.
Then, as I was reading through other adoptive parent posts, I came across two recommended books today and I bought them--both from Amazon.World School Day Adventure (Dora the Explorer). Author, Kellee Riley. Now, I'm not the biggest Dora fan, but it's a book--not an annoying cartoon show--and she visits Ethiopia!

The other book looks beautiful, from what I can see. I am excited to see the whole thing.

Everything is looking better for leaving in just 5 days. We should know for sure by Monday whether or not we're getting on that plane on Wednesday. I sure hope so!

I just found this blog with LOADS of great book reviews on it. Definitely worth checking out if you have a beautiful brown child in your home.
