Contributor Bio(s): Bellward, Stacy: - Stacy spent her teenage years in Tanzania, and although she has lived and worked on four continents, she holds Ethiopia especially close since adopting their Ethiopian-born daughter. In response to the lack of Ethiopian resources for adoptive families, she wrote her first book, "Our First Amharic Words". Together with her husband, Paul, she launched Amharic Kids. Stacy and Paul live with their two daughters in Minnesota. |
