		<description>I have 3 African children. My first was orphaned when he was 11. He Grandparents could not support him and asked me to take him. They are actively in our lives (though we no longer live in the same country). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last two were living in Orphanages when I met them. Their stories are hard to hear, and the kids have been through things so child should have to go through. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orphanages are everywhere here in Africa. Sure families try to keep their relatives, but with the poverty and amount of children orphaned due to AIDS they cannot take them all in. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’d proud of my family, I love my boys. But in creating my family 6 people died, if these boys could have their birthparents or relatives that could afford them I’d give them back in a heart beat (oh I’d miss them). But this is Africa and our reality is different parents keep dieing, and poor people cannot keep taking in family they don’t have the financial capacity. &lt;br /&gt;

		<description>I would love to adopt from Kenya, my son is Kikuyu, but from what I hear the time parents must be in country is like 6 mons.&lt;br /&gt;
I hope they shorten that time frame.</description>
