Grace Hiwot is precious, and looks so happy to be home with her family!

I am thrilled to find your blog (hopped over here from Kristi's Lucy Lane site) b/c we too are in the early parts of the process to bring home a little toddler/preschool aged girl from Ethiopia. I would love to visit via email with you sometime, if possible! My address is:

tricia@hornes.org

So thankful your beautiful daughter is HOME!

Why Ethiopia?

There are over six million orphans in Ethiopia
One out of every 20 children born alive die in their first month of life
One out of ten children born die before their first birthday
Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000.
One out of six children die before their fifth birthday
The median age in Ethiopia is 18
Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country in Africa
Coffee prices (Ethiopia’s only major export) fell 40-60% from 1998-2002 - strange since coffee consumption has grown in the US.
In 1993, after 30 long years of war, Eritrea broke from Ethiopia and became an independent nation leaving Ethiopia landlocked without any major seafaring ports.
If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans”.
