Bekalu

<p>Bekalu was adopted from Ethiopia by an American family at age 4. When he was 10 he sent a letter to Santa asking for 3 things for Christmas: an iPhone a massage chair and to meet his birth parents. His adoptive parents felt that that he wasn't old enough for an iPhone and that a massage chair was too expensive and impractical. So they set out to grant his third wish. After a friend sent Bekalu's letter to a talk show in Ethiopia the director invited Bekalu and his adoptive mother Laura to come to Ethiopia and appear on the show. There they shared photos of Bekalu as a toddler and details of the police report from when he was found as an infant. Friends of Bekalu's birth mother Zenash recognized the story and photos. A year later Bekalu met Zenash on the show. They continue to talk regularly and Bekalu and his adoptive family plan to meet more relatives in Ethiopia next summer.</p>
