Just previous to the birth of my little son, my mind gave way and my child was born in the asylum for the insane at Stockton, Cal. My boy was buried there.

when your child is born, you know that of all the lives you might have lived, only this one was ever really possible.

Premature birth affects us all. I am proud to be asking people to join me in walking for someone they love, because when we walk for one baby, we are walking to save all babies.

We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son! Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you for all your love and well wishes!!

All I'm doing is rearranging the curtains in the insane asylum.

Under the previous regime of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, I was detained. So was my wife, Serkalem Fasil. She gave birth to our son in prison in 2005.
