"I'm bursting with God-news!"
-Hannah's first exclamation after receiving the child she had been praying for, and then giving it back to the Lord.
(1 Sam 2:1 - The Message Bible)
-Det första Hanna sa när hon äntligen fick det barnet hon hade bett Gud om, och sedan gett det tillbaka till Herren:
"Jag överflödar av Guds nyheter!"
(1 Samuelsboken 2:1)
Here she is - our Zimbabwean!
Here she is - our African Queen!
...watching my daughter laugh!
Niklas berättar för sin mamma att hon har blivit farmor! Niklas tells his mom that she has just become a grandmother!
This blog is about our THREE daughters adopted from South Africa: a Zulu, a Shona, and a Xhosa!

The Lorentzons
We are Niklas and Katie, the proud new parents of a baby girl, an African queen whom we met in South Africa in June 2008.
Now we're also the proud parents of another baby girl, a Zimbabwean queen whom we'll meet on May 31, 2010
Oh, and now we're also the proud parents of ANOTHER baby girl, a Xhosa princess whom we'll meet on Nov 24, 2014
Vi är Niklas och Katie, ett par som är lyckliga över sina döttrar, våra afrikanska drottningar som vi hämtade i Sydafrika i juni 2008 och 2010 och 2014.
(KT writes in English,
N skriver på svenska,
so you know who is writing what
så du vet vem som skriver vad!)
