   I know this is a late reply, but I thought I’d respond. First, a lot of Christians adopt, because God’s word calls them to do so. Second, Ethiopia is actually a largely Christian country. That is a big part of their culture. There is Islam there also, but not like in many countries in Africa. As for what gets “hammered” in their heads. All of us raise our children according to what we believe is best for them. But people are free will beings. Everyone has a choice.I hope that helps.

   khalilahinjapan for your information Ethiopia has more Christians. But who said muslims can’t adopt Ethiopian Children? Eventhough the agencies are christians I don’t think they impose any relegion on the Children.

   not to be disrespectful but why are most of the ethiopian adoptions by die hard christians. I mean these kids were raised in a muslim background or at least with some african religion that is so deep that its part of them. do the kids have a say in what religion they can follow or will it be hammered into their little heads?

   epiers…am saddened to read ur comments. but i don’t grant u any more power by saying anymore about it.

   adoption is the ultimate gift. to love another that is not indeed ur blood as ur own, is a true demonstration of the power of humanity.

   i find it soo soo annoying when african adoptions are soo negatively recieved…….why?? especially from other africans. makes NO SENSE!!

   there are MILLIONS of children in need. africa needs all the help it can get to parent them!

   thanks

    Epiers -I wonder why you would write something like this. Adoption is very complex and the reasons for it are screwed up. But the fact is that there are 6 million orphans in Ethiopia… little kids who deserve homes while the grownups figure out how it happened in the first place.

    ‘You are ours’!!! ‘Welcome home’??? Don’t delude yourselves. Rich person buys a life from a poor country because they want to and they can.
