A new and much-needed book for the adoption community.

LIONS ROARING, FAR FROM HOME: AN ANTHOLOGY BY ETHIOPIAN ADOPTEES

Editors: Aselefech Evans, Kassaye Berhanu-MacDonald, and Maureen McCauley

The book is currently available through Amazon, in print and on Kindle. The beautiful cover art was painted by Ethiopian artist Nahosenay Negussie.

We envision that adoptees (Ethiopian and other), prospective adoptive parents, current adoptive parents, first parents, grandparents, adoption agency staff, social workers, policy makers, teachers and other child welfare professionals will want to read and learn from this book. We believe that Ethiopians in Ethiopia and around the world will want to read it, as well as the global family connected with adoption. Lions Roaring will be a book for anyone interested in the essential stories of love, loss, journeys, and family.

We have 32 essays (plus a few poems) in the anthology. Writers range in age from 8 to over 50, and are from the US, Canada, Sweden, The Netherlands, France, and Australia.

All revenue from the sales of the book goes to Ethiopian adoptees. We have contributed to GoFundMe and similar campaigns to help adoptees fund visits to Ethiopia, or pay for classes or rent, and other needs.

We are thrilled at the response to our anthology. It has been a labor of love. Many thanks for all the support, patience, and encouragement!
