In this case the Ethiopian mother did not provide the children’s Ethiopian names. We don’t have the mother’s name either but we have her phone number and are trying to get more information. The oldest, Adam, is an adult now. He left the adoptive family at some point and may be estranged from them. The other two children are girls with American names beginning with N and M. They are younger than Adam and may be teens or young adults at the time of this posting. We are not using the girls’ names since they may still be minors. The orphanage is probably Children’s Cross Connection CCC and the agency was Christian World Adoption. Their Ethiopian mother has a job at a hospital. The orphanage has not given her any information about the children. She very much wants to be in contact with them.
