Adopting An African Baby

Hey friends,

When I was hanging out with this baby, I wanted to adopt him so badly. Too bad he was the son of a family from Mali.



My affection for Africa goes way back to the 80s. My mom and her family grew up in Kenya, and when I was a little kid, we would often make trips to Kenya to visit my mom's elder sister and my cousins. We would go to safari and just submerge ourselves into the scenic surroundings of Nairobi. Ever since then, I have always had a soft spot for African babies. I hope to convince my future wife to adopt a baby from Africa (I have had this desire for a long time, so before anyone accuses me of being another Angelina/Brad, stop right there!) A close friend of mine knows very well my desire to have an African kid in my family. She thinks I am joking, but I tell her I am serious. I remember once my parents telling me that the girl I marry has to be a Muslim, and I asked them if I could marry a Sudanese or Kenyan girl, and they held back. Imagine, me marrying a jolly, chubby Sudanese woman, and our kids would be brown colored, with short curly hairs!

this was taken in Syria, where we met up with this famly from Mali. The guy was there with his wife number 2, and this was their kid. He was cute, everyone wanted a piece of him.

i think they restricted people from adopting babies when the earthquake happened, and probably for good reason, because then there was a danger forigners would want to adopt Pakistani babies...

Inshallah, things will work out in such ways that there will be opportunities for us to adopt.
