Meet the Rupers!

I am sooo excited about our family of the week! I love waiting child adoption! And the Rupers are adopting a waiting child! You are going to LOVE this family! Hear their amazing story:

"We are Abe, Marissa, Levi, and Zahria Ruper. We are a bilingual family (our son Levi is profoundly deaf and uses American Sign Language to communicate). We adopted Levi and Z from Ethiopia last year. Neither of them knew any sign language at that time and Levi (14) had never been able to communicate. He also had no education. We taught the kids to sign (Marissa is an interpreter) and for the first time in their lives, Levi and Z are able to talk to each other. Now we are going back to Ethiopia to bring home our 3rd child, a beautiful 10-year old deaf girl. Like Levi, she has no language and almost no education. We are SO excited to bring her home!!!!!"
