I wanted to add that the doc we got here introducing us to the boys was signed by Eyerusalem Tesfay.<br /><br />kent hettingakenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483167660255903357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419447922914916440.post-52691731497718963232011-02-25T15:42:08.089-05:002011-02-25T15:42:08.089-05:00Good to hear from you Robert.

The names that you mentioned do not sound familiar, but I am meeting with several Sendafa "Veterans" (who have been to the village many times) this Sunday and I can ask around for you. As you probably know, Ethiopian names can be tricky since there is no family name. A child's last name is the first name of their father usually. I will let you know if I come up with anything. Meanwhile, please stay in touch, I would love for you to guest write for this blog about your family and share pictures of the boys. I will e-mail you soon. God bless you!Navigate Vacationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083342699344436220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419447922914916440.post-91349865322209865252011-02-25T14:27:18.752-05:002011-02-25T14:27:18.752-05:00Hellow Mr Martin,
I came by your account in a roun...Hellow Mr Martin,<br />I came by your account in a roundabout way.. by posting a similar comment to Ethiopia Dan. My wife and I adopted two boys, Abera and Wakeiyo Tadu whom I believe were born in Sendafa. Their birthdates are 15Sep2004 and 24May2003 respectively. Their father is in Sheno prison I think, Tadu Bursa. We were never aware of any other family (mother Biritu is deceased). I write to ask if you've come across any family of Tadu or Biritu. I'm having a difficult time believing that the parents had no siblings in the area. A long shot I know but if you know any elders of the community perhaps they are aware of family of these boys. Tadu is in prison for the death of the mother. I don't know the details other than that and a policeman brought them to Kidane Mehret orphanage in Addis sometime around Oct 2006. They were there for a bit over a year until they came home with us in April 2008.<br /><br />thanks for any info,<br />Robert Hettinga (orageapeskull@gmail.com)kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483167660255903357noreply@blogger.com
