The boy responded by throwing his arms around little Muhsin. The Muhammad family was in Ethiopia for the first time ever, and the experience astounded them. "It was so hard to see so much need in the country and then go home," Muhammad's wife Christa reflected. Muhsin and Christa recently... read more Bulgaria Adoption Program Opens
