Yeah well I saw Coach Stud at the all you can eat Nagoya buffet once and he always used a clean plate on subsequent trips to the buffet line.

Nagoya is way too classy for Stud. He was a Great Wall man, through and through.

An intensely emotional scene happened when Jada's mother, who the Grimes also met, saw her daughter for the last time before they brought Jada home to America. Jada had just been united with her new parents a few days earlier and was already clinging to her new parents.

"She was extremely emotional," Jeff said of the mother. "It was tough. I wanted to give Jada to her mom. But Jada was crying and screaming and reaching back to us. It was emotional. We were bawling."

Jeff and Sheri want Jada to grow up knowing of her homeland and her family. They had Jada's mother and grandfather write her letters that they will one day read to her. They also hope to take Jada back to Ethiopia when she is old enough to remember the trip.


Wow

nice story, I know people who have done it and I know there are children all over the world who need help. I also know there are children of all colors a lot closer than East Africa who need the help just as much. bottom line....they did a good thing and I wish Jada, the Grimes family and the birth mother the best.

Hits home. I have 4 biological children aged 20 to 11 and we adopted a child from Ethiopia in 2010. We're also adopting 3 more international children. I can tell you it is a long & enduring process so it speaks highly of our new OL coach.
