How many orphans are in Ethiopia?

About 6,000,000.

But that is just a number. How can we grasp that?

Can we even? Is it too big to fathom?

Every child under the age of 18 living in New York, Massachusetts, and The District of
Columbia...take all of their parents away.

That brings it close to six million.Can you imagine?

Three states with no parents for their children.

I can't imagine.


My sister forwarded this information to me from another adoptive mother. Thanks, Kers!
