“...The sibling group of 3 that we adopted were living in extreme poverty. Now our children are amazed at life in America. They love their beds, where they can sleep alone. They absolutely are honored to be in school.
There is so much that we take for granted that our new kids are showing us! They are good children who now have an opportunity to grow up without the fears, hunger, disease and unknowns of life in Ethiopia.”
Gregory & Terri (adopted in 2007)
