I just watched your video and now I'm bawling! I have always wanted to adopt an infant from Ethiopa, but now I'm considering adopting an older child as well. Thank you and God Bless you and your family!
This was just beautiful. Had my eyes watering up. Thank you for opening your home and hearts to those little boys. I pray God will continue to bless you and your family. Stay under the wings of the Almighty.

There are no Muslim children for adoption virtually anywhere in the world. Kudos to a people who regard their children and grandchildren as a sacred trust. An orphaned Muslim child remains in the family with full care.
I'm not sure where you received your information but it is totally incorrect. I have seen many Muslim children enter into adoptions. Many of them are even adopted by Christian families. Aids, poverty, and starvation affect Muslim families as any other people.
When there are no resources to care for someone and little govt. infrastructure to care for the sick, poor and dying? They WERE cared for until those couldn't anymore. That horse of opinion shouldn't be so high.
Incredible story. I pray the boys will heal concerning the situtation with their mother. God Bless you all for adopting the kids, and I hope the kids are also a blessing to your lives as well. peace
We are adopting from Ethiopia this year and we are seeking advice from anyone who has already adopted. I'm concerned about how to help an older child adjust. Any advice?
Paddy1Mac, you are doing just exactly what all of us - who name The Name - are required to do, in one way or another. It is written that He commanded (my translation), "Adopt ye, one another, even as I have adopted you". BLESS YOU for this wonderful inspiration. You and your loved ones are in my prayers. THANKS!
Thank you - I am still amazed at the response to the video. We are still getting emails and encouraging notes from friends just like you across the nation who we have never met. Thanks for your encouragement.
As the mother of an adopted child, I know first hand the joy that they bring. There is a special bond and connection that is unexplainable. We adopted our son, Daniel, locally at age 7. He is now a straight A student, star athlete and most important born again BELIEVER who thanks the Lord every day for giving him "such a wonderful life." May God continue to bless your family.
That was beautiful! Made me cry also! One day we will be adopting and have already began the long process. I hope to make a child as happy as you have one day!
mad again (smile0.....you made me cry yet again ....thought that since I had already watched this video once...that maybe this time I would be able to get through it without crying.....I was wrong!
Amazing video. BLESSINGS to you all. We are also adopting from Ethiopia. We already have 3 kids and are adopting a sibling group of 3. Check out our video and web site. I can't wait to see another video from when your boys are home!!!
Truly Gods love shines through you. I can tell you I thank God and my American family for sponsoring me. Because of them I was able to live freely, get good education and be able to go back and help my people. I cried when viewed your story. Please know that what a blessing you are to God and for the future of your new adopted kids. Thank you for sharing your home and your heart!!!
