Hello-
My husband and I have a serious query for those who will share their beliefs and experiences with us. We are interested in adopting or schooling a child from Tanzania. This raises many questions for us because we are concerned with how he'll grow up here, what he'll face and what we can do to ease the transition for him...if we should adopt him at all. Please share with us your thoughts and experiences. We live in a predominately white area(and are ourselves of Irish/German/European descent), a few Native Americans and African Americans, a few Native Indians etc. It's a college town so more diverse than others. The child is Catholic and we are, too, so that helps. Please- were you adopted, know anyone who was adopted from Tanzania? Share with us your views. THANK YOU!!! ASANTE SANA! BTW- we are also trying to learn swahili, too.
