"a-woo-da-shall-o"

This is the way you say and pronounce" I love you" in Amharic. Lonely Planet publishes a book called "Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook" that I will be looking for today. It should be found at Barnes and Noble. We will go on a shopping trip. I really want to take a few lines to express thanks again to all of you who are so supportive and loving regarding our "children to be". From the bottom of our hearts "thank you" and we love all of you. Over the past two months we have been required to do a lot of reading regarding racism and trans-racial adoption. It has been wonderful to get in touch with the African American culture and race issues and to be brought up to speed. We are embracing our new knowledge and look forward to learning more. xoxo
