Let us all know what other countries that you considered.
It is 7,500 miles from here to Ethiopia. In this land once ruled by kings I search for two special children with eyes like mine. Join me as I take this long walk down the path of international adoption. There are sure to be twist and turns, some hills and some valleys, some laughter and some tears before I reach the destination.

Can't believe I'm the first to comment! Not sure if this counts, but my DH and I researched many countries before. We actually didn't even realize Ethiopia was an option at first. But after all the research, we have been fully on-board. So, we did research, but Ethiopia is the only country we actually went through the process for.
We did. And if it doesn't work out, if they turn us down or if the whole thing shuts down,
there's no 2nd choice. I can give you a whole bunch of logical, rational reasons why Ethiopia, but none of them matter as much to me as the gut, inherent rightness of the feeling that I can't adequately explain.
Because my family is from DR I looked into that country while looking into Ethiopia. But at the end of the day, Ethiopia was the only program that I pursued, this is where my child is.
Hi Valerie,
Just checking in to see if you are coming to Boston this weekend?
I looked into adopting from Brazil when we first decided on international adoption. At this point though I am not sure if we will ever adopt.....
I briefly considered US foster care, but Ethiopia is the only country I actively pursued.
