About Us
I am an adoptive father of a beautiful Ethiopian girl. As we were adopting, the resources we found on the internet were invaluable, but seemed to be scattered. I decided to launch this website - and the forum - to help families who are at every step of the journey to Ethiopia and back home.
This is definitely a work in progress, and I hope to expand it with things that are useful to the adoptive parent. Click over to the forum and let us know what's on your mind...you'll find a lot of boards where you can meet other adoptive parents, ask questions, and get encouragement and support.
