Four of Bevin’s children were adopted from Ethiopia.
Bevin and his wife had tried to adopt an 11 year old girl from Kentucky foster care: “Bevin wants to overhaul the state’s troubled child-welfare system, inspired by his own family’s failed attempt to adopt a young girl. The Bevins started the process of trying to adopt a young girl from Kentucky’s child-welfare system. They had their fingerprints taken, three times and opened their home to an inspection. The state ultimately rejected their application because, the Bevins said, they had five children and officials worried the girl wouldn’t get enough attention….So the Bevins “gave up” and went to Ethiopia to adopt four children” in 2008…ap, 4/25/2017

Comment: How I received the above Christmas card: Though I don’t live in Kentucky, I donated to Mr. Bevin’s campaign in 2014 when he was running in the Kentucky Republican primary for US Senate against Mitch McConnell. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out, but in 2015 Mr. Bevin was back and won the Kentucky governorship. Susan
