"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!)

Grattis Esther och grattis Katie och Niklas till att ni varit föräldrar till er första Afrikanska drottning i 2 år nu!
Katie- Vilken underbar kärleksförklaring du skrivit till Esther! Ögonen tårades när jag läste den.
Vi ser fram emot att få träffa er på Forever Families träffen i augusti.
Soliga hälsningar från sommar-Stockholm
Maria Widfeldt
Happy Adoption Day!!!! I can't believe it has been 2 years!
