I also hope that each of my kids can, at some point, spend a few months abroad doing some sort of relief/orphan care work. I'd LOVE it if my boys did this in Ethiopia!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes they'll say they want to go to Ethiopia, but I think it's mostly because we talk about it often. (Usually it's in the context of, "I want to go to Ethiopia tomorrow!") <BR/><BR/>I don't know how interested they'll be in their birthcountry as they grow. Our goal is to make information available to them, and have it be a comfortable, open topic for discussion. As much as I'd LOVE for them to fall in love with Ethiopian culture (as we have) and to feel connected to Ethiopia, who knows if they will. Time will tell I guess!Brianna Heldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224838737334231065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-56822423303487148612008-10-29T14:01:00.000-06:002008-10-29T14:01:00.000-06:00Oh, what great photos!

Have they expressed any interest in that?
