    I know how hard it is to post about the trip, and the transition to home . I have been home with one kid since 2006 and the other for 1 1/2 year and have yet to write anything adoption related.

    The subject is just too, personal, overwhelming, and big.

    Your photos say it all Julie.

    I really want to comment but not sure which words I should use, the "I understand" kind or the "I feel it too" kind or the "wow that picture brings me back" kind... thanks for posting the picture, it brought me back.

    it was simply unreal walking around woman and children like this on the side walks...and so much more. It makes my heart ache...

    Yesterday, while pushing Mia in my Bob Revolution stroller and carrying Samuel in the Ergo, I was feeling somewhat weighed down.

    It occurred to me that my kid carrying equipment cost more than most Ethiopians make in an entire year. And that, because of this fact of economics, I am privileged to be carrying around and pushing these children. It is humbling to the core.

    In Ethiopia, Mia may already have a little one strapped to her back as she does chores. How can we be so blessed, while others are given so much to bear?
