Eli and Barack ObamaOnly a few weeks ago Eli Werness was in a child care center in Ethiopia waiting for his adoptive parents. And now, he’s already meeting the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States, Barack Obama, up close and personal.

The little boy was one of the first Holt is placing with adoptive parents from that country.
