Muhammad and his wife Christa, to expand their family, have stretched in a different way.

The couple adopted in December 2007 a 10-year-old Journey and 6-year old Maddon from Ethiopia.

Muhsin Muhammad in an interview said, “In researching the country, seeing the beauty of the people, seeing the need for the children the high orphan rate we just felt compelled to go to Ethiopia.”

The two adopted children not only adjusted to the Muhammad’s four biological children but they also adjusted themselves to the American culture.

Mushin said that six months into the adoption they stop arguing in Amharic and started arguing in English.
