Book about Ethiopia and Adoptions

Michele and I have just finished a book called "There is No Me Without You" by Melissa Fay Greene. It is about a women in Ethiopia who starts an orphanage, for children whose parents died of AIDS. It can be a depressing but uplifting and inspirational book that educates you about the hard life in Ethiopia, and the struggles that they continue to have. The book is extremely recent, so there are a lot of great details of what is currently happening. It also covers international adoptions and why they are so popular in Ethiopia.

If you have any interest in learning more about this country or adoptions, we strongly recommend this book.

Below is a link to the book on Amazon to get a better idea of what the book is about.
