Read "all my gold for a photo" two posts ago.
One blog reader suggested we could contact a police sketch artist to draw the African parents based on how our girls described the parents. Great idea that we took one step further.
We contacted the local college of art and asked to speak with a portrait specialist. The Artist agreed to draw a portrait of both parents based on (1) what our girls look like (2) photos of the siblings, newphews, and nieces of the parents (which we have) and (3) descriptions voiced by Marin and Emmy. So, using all three sources of info, the artist will create the portrait of an Ethiopian couple that we will then frame and hang in our home.
Let's hope this works!

This is genius. Pure genius. My husband and I have been talking about adopting from Ethiopia, and I stumbled on your blog a while ago while searching the web for information. I enjoy reading about your adventures. Keep up the good work.
