International Adoption Saved My Son's Life

Without International Adoption my son would have died of starvation in a part of Ethiopia unknown to almost all of humanity. Instead, a brave family member carried him 25 kilometers to an International Adoption agency where he was saved. That same agency now sponsors, educates, feeds and clothes his siblings. Thousands of similar acts of kindness are carried out in that country every year. Obviously adoption is loved and celebrated by Ethiopia... oops...I live in reality. Ethiopian bureaucrats clearly do not. Ethiopia's disgusting position: dramatically reduce International Adoption to cut down on "corruption". Are they friggin' serious? Ethiopia has a wildly corrupt government. The streets of Addis Ababa are lined with starving, sick, homeless women. Most of whom have children. Many of whom turn to prostitution to stay alive. There is virtually no industry, few jobs and little hope for a brighter future. http://filledwithpraise.blogspot.com/
