My husband and I began our second Ethiopian adoption back in 2008. We had brought home our beautiful son in 2006.

Our story causes us heartbreak not only because of what happened to our child and her family but how selfish and naïve we were in hindsight, we genuinely didn’t know—we hadn’t found the forums.
