This is the Amharic name of our new son. Dagem William Coffman. Dagem is his given name (it is pronounced dag-M, emphasis on the letter M). William's nannies loved to get his attention by repeating daggie-daggie-daggie, it was very sweet. We had the opportunity to meet his birthmother (wow, more on that later) and she told us that she named him Dagem simply becasue she just really liked the name. William is my first name and is the name we will call him (I really like "Lil' Will" but Karen prefers "William").
This was one of Karen's favorite pictures from our first day with him in Ethiopia. Both he and Karen really liked the hat. He is a precious little boy. Even though he was sick with a cold most of the time we were there, he was still very content and happy.
This is a picture from our first meeting with him on Monday, February 15. Karen has already learned that the way to his heart is through his stomach. He loves to eat! He will fit right into the Coffman family.
This is a picture from my first interaction with him. He is very attentive and loves to be held. His first words were "da-da-da-da." Of course, he said these words when he reached for me, Karen, the nanny, his favorite toy, and my bowl of soup at lunch. These are pictures from our first day with William. We are happy to share them with you. We look forward to you meeting him in person.
