That's so exciting. I too long to adopt in the future. <br /><br />Those facts about Ethiopia are horrendous and heartbreaking and it makes me so sad that poverty like that exists all over the world. That being said, when I started reading I expected you to talk about why you chose Ethiopia in a broader sense - why you want your son to be Ethiopian. You are about adopt a child from that culture and it is important to talk about what you love about Ethiopia and the Ethiopian people. There is so much more to a country and a culture than it's poverty. You are about to intertwine your lives with Ethiopian culture forever, this will be a country you visit again and again, this will be a community you join and there should be so many more reasons than what's what's wrong with Ethiopia for you to chose that as the birthplace of your son. You will want your son to grow up proud of his heritage and he cannot do that if the only heritage he has is all the 'wrongs' of his native home. Poverty is everywhere - Ethiopia is where your heart is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260244473138046857.post-44042577661160445772011-04-16T12:53:51.118-07:002011-04-16T12:53:51.118-07:00so crazy that i stumbled to this little blog from ...so crazy that i stumbled to this little blog from a friend's! you took our little guy's newborn pics soon after we brought him home. so of course, i immediately recognized you! congratulations on this new and exciting journey. i can't wait to see who the Lord has in store for your sweet fam!Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589995674020326830noreply@blogger.com
