Debbie Monterrey, the morning host on KMOX radio, is currently in Ethiopia to bring her son home. Below is a link to an interview of her while in Ethiopia. She describes her trip to Awasa to visit the orphanage and interview with the birth relative. When we go, we will also be traveling to Awasa to the same orphanage. What she describes is much like what we will be going through.
I’m having a hard time getting the hyperlinks to work, so unfortunately you will have to copy and paste the links. Sorry.

KMOX’s site also provided a very good map of Ethiopia. You can see where Awasa is relative to Addis Ababa

I know this is a very personal journey for her, but I hope she gives more interviews.
