Fun Photo

Our agency is wonderful! The Ethiopia department sends updates constantly about the program, the status of the adoption, and even the not-so-fun stuff like the growing tension between adoption agencies and the locals in Addis Ababa. It's sad to hear that culture clash is so prominent, and rooted in so much misunderstanding (on both sides). We'll see how this develops over the next few months, but in the meantime, I'm glad they're keeping us informed.

Last week, however, we got a fun email with this picture attached. The email read:

"While you wait for your child from Ethiopia , our staff thought you would enjoy and appreciate a photograph of a typical Ethiopian house, from the Awassa and Wolaitta regions of Ethiopia . The houses across the country of Ethiopia are very similar."

Interesting!
