The days on the long road of one families Ethiopian Adoption

This blog started out as a way to record the twists, turns, highs and lows in my families journey to adopt siblings from Ethiopia. Now our children are home and we have just finished celebrating our first year as a family.

I'm Kimberly (or Fendesha), an adventurous person who aspires to be a vagabond- but for now- I spend all of my free time travelling and my down time thinking of travelling. I'm a mom of 3 (the oldest being my gorgeous canine companion), a IT project manager, and on occasion I find myself the primary writer of this blog.


Happy Reading and thank you for stopping by.

In the Milford Newspaper

I didn't expect our Adoption to become so public so quickly- We have made the local news already. Denis and I were interviewed by a journalist for the Milford Daily News at the Annual ACONE Adoption conference.

See the full article at: http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1712858591

The article reads:

Among those in attendance were Denis and Kimberly Calderone of Marlborough, a couple who is trying to adopt siblings from Ethiopia.
"We just want to make sure we have the interracial issues that come with that covered," Denis Calderone said.
Already 14 months into the process and still at least a year away, the Calderones cautioned that prospective adopters needed to be patient.
"You've got a lot of homework to do," Kimberly Calderone said.
Her husband agreed.
"You have to be dedicated to do this," he said.
