The Journey of our adoptions from Ethiopia.
WHY ETHIOPIA?
One in ten children die before their first birthday -One in six children die before their fifth birthday -44% of the population of Ethiopia is under 15 years old -Half the children in Ethiopia will never attend school. 88% will never attend secondary school. Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000. Ethiopia has approx. 4.3 million orphans and the country is twice the size of Texas. Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country in Africa.
Thank you so much for sharing about the significance of the black cord necklace on Ethiopian children! I bet that is the necklace our little girl is wearing the pictures we've gotten. I'm so glad to know the meaning behind it! Your little boy is so adorable!
