Yes, we know it's controversial.

Yesterday, this NPR story aired and it was obviously very close to my heart.

So, to those of you who have wondered- yes, we know international adoption is controversial. And that fraud exists. And that having an interracial family will be hard. And we aren't trying to be a trendy Brangelina family. We just want to be *a* family.

And no matter how you slice it, there are millions of kids (an estimated 5 million orphans and homeless children in Ethiopia, in fact) who don't have a family that can take care of them. Right now. And can't wait for their country's infrastructure to get better.
