Hi,
We are in the process of adopting an Ethiopian baby boy and would like to know of restaurants, activities, festivals, groups, etc. that we might get more info about. Are any of you out there Ethiopian or have adopted Ethiopian children? Please feel free to email me at roxnray@sbcglobal.net We live in St. Charles in case you happen to also live out this way!
Thanks,
Julie
