Why Ethiopia?

A friend of mine posted this video on her blog a few weeks ago and I finally had a chance to watch it. I am so glad I did. A family who is adopting through the same agency she is using (my friend and her husband are in process of adopting their daughter from Ethiopia) made this video to show why they chose Ethiopia. I think they captured this perfectly. Not only does this video captures perfectly why they are adopting from Ethiopia, but it also reflects my feelings of why I keep going back. The tears were flowing as I watched this video. I've had people ask me "Why Ethiopia?" so many times. I say "Why not Ethiopia?". And I think this video definitely answers the "why" and shows exactly why I keep going back.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
