Dear Silas's parents! I KNOW you will give him a loving home--but people are failing to listen to what the kid is saying: he is terribly missing someone, and desperately calling them out to come to him. I laughed first becasue I thought he was mocking someone--"achin timatchalesh"--is "are you comming?" (feminin) and he says it a couple of times. He almost made me cry..But don't worry he soon will forget home and will more than embrace you with the same love you are embracing him!!!

I have a two year old and she speak Amharic like this. It breaks my heart to know that someone had to give up the kid because it is beyond their capacity to raise him. I am glad someone who cares for him took him in as their own. Everytime I watch this video, my heart bleeds...

AMHARIC:- one of best music in 2007by shemosa123912,054 views
We are thankful for everyones kind comments and interpretations. Wanting to know what he was saying we posted it never realizing it would become so popular. We are aware now that the content of the infamous "phone call" was one of confusion for Silas. This was taped on our layover in Chicago, he knew no english and we were complete strangers taking him to a new country. I will post a new updated video of our amazing son! He has adjusted beautifully, we are so blessed to be his parents.

Thank you all for your kind words. We are doing our best to keep Silas' amharic, he still understands more then he will speak. Thank you for your suggestions, he has videos he watches, we speak what we can to him and we are definately going to check out some of the Ethiopian churches around. We are so blessed by this sweet boy.
