Joshua Emanuel and Josiah Abenezer

November 6th, 2007

We settled on names for the twins! We feel very strongly that the boys should retain their connection to their wonderful culture and Ethiopian heritage, so we decided to give them American firstnames and use their birthname as their middle name.

So they will be called...Joshua Emanuel, Joshua being a biblical name that means "God saves" and Josiah Abenezer, Josiah also being a biblical name that means "God heals" or "Healed by God"We're continuing to wait for space to open up for the boys to be transferred to the transition home in Addis. Time seems to be dragging!!
