Birth Certificates and the meaning of names



Here is the birth certificate of Sophia (BeEmnet). BeEmnet means "thru faith". Thru our faith we received two perfect gifts - salvation from death thru Christ and our baby girl. Sophia means "wisdom". Throughout the adoption we definitely received wisdom daily from the Lord to His perfect timing and plan.







Here is Giovanni (Alemayhu). Giovanni means "God is gracious". Boy has He ever been gracious to us - 3 kids. Alemayhu means "I saw the world". He will definitely have seen the world by the time we get our children home.








We don't have a picture of Caleb (Mamegela). We don't know why. Caleb means "faithful". Throughout this process we have learned how to be faithful in the Lord. Mamegela means "you are a part of me". From the beginning of referrals, Caleb was with us. He has always been in our hearts.

There you have it! The new additions to the Raskells!
