How old are you??

One big question we have gotten is how old is Sitota....Good question! Since there were no actual records of when she was born, it is mostly a guessing game. Her Ethiopia birth certificate lists her birth date as July 12, 2002...that would make her 5.5 years old, Way off!! Her brother told us she was born in 1996 (that is according to the calendar used in Ethiopia), so that would be 2003, here..making her 6, Still off! The doctor thinks her birth date would be more accurate at July 12, 2002..making her 7.5 years old, Getting Closer! The dentist said that looking at her teeth, those that are in, loose, and coming in he would say she is 8.5-9 years old...most accurate. So what will we do????? We are going with the doctors estimate of July 12, 2002. This makes her 7.5 years old and puts her in 2nd grade. We realize that we may be off by a year or two, but this is what makes the most sense. So there you have it...the long answer to a short question!! Melissa
