Introduction to Ethiopia

It seems like the process in China is taking longer. Now we're facing a possible 3-year wait. We talked to our agency about other programs and they mentioned Ethiopia. Mike and I had never considered an African country, only because we assumed we'd have an Asian daughter. But we wondered if we wanted to start over with an infant in three years and have that much age difference between her and the boys. I talked to Mike about it and he was immediately in favor of adopting from Ethiopia. Just like him. I want to do some research and find out much more. We don't know anything about Ethiopia. I started looking at some pictures of children adopted from Ethiopia and fell in love. They're so beautiful! I didn't have this kind of an emotional reaction with China. Maybe this is the country where we're supposed to find our daughter.
