There is No Me Without You

I read this book last winter and, now that we are officially in the adoption process, I'm reading it again. There is No Me Without You, written by Melissa Fay Greene, tells the true story of Haregewoin Teferra, an ordinary middle class Ethiopian woman who opens her home as a refuge for AIDS orphans. Melissa Fay Greene visited Haregewoin's house many times in the last few years and witnessed first hand the extent of the AIDS crisis in Ethiopia. Sadly, Haregewoin passed away suddenly this past March. I'm so moved by her story and want to carry on her legacy. We don't know how or why Baby A has lost his family...our adoption worker is finding out as much information as she can for us. But, it's very possible that his mother or father, or both, were affected by AIDS. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in or concerned about the AIDS crisis in Africa.
