A Bevy of Boys: ALL the single ladies!

ALL the single ladies!

Oh God -- this is so funny. Funnier because this song is #1 in my house. My kids LOVE it, and I have three BOYS! This is a YouTube video of a father breaking the news to his son that he, technically, is not a "single lady". I especially like the arms-crossed, disapproving look from the daughter in the middle seat. What makes it even better is that it is obvious that the family in the video is a blended, international adoption family. I could be wrong, but it sure looks that way. Enjoy!

Oh, my word, too funny!! My 16-yr-old daughter entertained her fellow basketball teammates with her rendition of the Single Ladies dance on a bus ride home...I can only imagine! And Kaya is forever bustin' her moves to it...what is up with that song!?!

Why Ethiopia?

In Ethiopia, approximately 1 in 10 children die in infancy, and nearly double that number die by their 5th birthday, due to infections, tetanus and diarrhea. Ethiopia is considered the 3rd worst place in the world to be born, better only than Burkina Faso and Djibouti. Of the children who survive, many will lose their mother in childbirth and many more will lose one or both parents to HIV/AIDS.

As more and more parents die, the capacity of extended family members to take care of orphans shrinks. Ethiopia has reached the breaking point where orphaned children are now forced into the streets, into difficult working conditions and/or into heading their households.

In 2001, 13.2% of the population, 3.8 million children, was orphaned. In comparison, the 1994 genocide in Rwanda resulted in 500,000 orphans and the 2004 Tsunami in Southeast Asia resulted in 10,000 orphans. In 2006, American parents adopted only 731 orphans. 3,799,269 orphans remain vulnerable.
