I have great respect for Ethiopia and sharing information with friends and family. I think I'm representing the country well, but I'm now thinking more about my posts. I sent in a question about public blogs to my agency and they felt that all blogs should be private until the adoption is final. So now I'm going to figure out how to do that. I think it is sad, because connecting and sharing with others is so valuable and it is an amazing personal journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412260463995418779.post-84535117583979874322008-08-24T14:33:00.000-05:002008-08-24T14:33:00.000-05:00Great Post!

In a year Ethiopia has gone from the fifth or six to the second in terms of international adoption. Sentiments have changed slightly in the country as well as there are more reports of hotels and planes filled with ET children. They do not want to be known as a country that can't care for their children. It absolutely makes sense if we think about it.<b>VALARIE</b>https://www.blogger.com/profile/13712263753769092903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412260463995418779.post-5725155833838323092008-08-23T11:21:00.000-05:002008-08-23T11:21:00.000-05:00This is such a great post, Valarie.
