How could we not???

Over the weekend, the question was raised, "...but there are plenty of kids who need help in America; why go to Ethiopia?"  Well, here's one reason:

this is poverty in America

and this 

and finally, this...

Whereas 

THIS is poverty in Ethiopia

and this...

and this 

and this...

and finally, when we learned what happens when

people who can help (like us) don't

"aged out" is the term used to explain what happens if no one adopts a child before they reach 12 or 14 years old; they are turned out of the orphanage

to live (or die) on their own.

So, when people ask why we're adopting from Ethiopia,

I simply share with them what we (and now you) know about

how poverty affects kids in Ethiopia and then ask them...

HOW COULD WE NOT?
