- My husband and I are in the process of adopting our first child from Ethiopia. My husband is an awesome man, whom I love with all my heart. We’ve been married for almost two years. God has directed us to adopt from Ethiopia.
Why Ethiopia
- 4.6 MILLION ORPHANS
- 1 in 6 will die before age one
- 1 in 10 will die before age five
- 60% of children growth is stunted
- 50% will never attend school
- Literacy rate is 39%
- Doctor to child ratio is 1 to 24,000
- Life expectancy is 49 years
- Lack of clean water
- Insuffient government funding

Dr Hope is a very genuine spell caster and a very unique and a powerful man of wisdom. I was unable to get pregnant because i had fertility problems. My husband divorced me because of that. I was so worried and always crying and i was even thinking of committing suicide but a friend of mine introduced me to a great man called Dr Hope who also helped her with her problem. She gave me Dr Hope email and i contacted Dr Hope and explained everything to him. He assured me that he will help me and i should not worry. Dr Hope brought back joy to my life and to my family again by bringing my husband back to me with his spiritual powers, by making me to get pregnant, by curing my sister's cancer disease, by also curing my cousin's hiv virus with his special powers, and he also made my step brother to win a lottery of 2 million dollars. Dr Hope is really a gifted, amazing, and a very good man who truly knows how to do his job better and if not for him what would my life turn to? Dr Hope thank you so much and i will never stop talking about your great deeds. Words can not express how much good you have done for me and my family and i believe that even a thousand words won't be enough to describe your good great works. If you are in need of any spiritual help why not run to Dr Hope? just contact Dr Hope on his email: Ultimatesolutionhome55@yahoo.com or you can also contact him on his web site on:
http://ultimatesolutionho5.wixsite.com/dr-hope and he will help you. Contact him now and get your solution. Thank you Dr Hope for you are indeed a great man.
