Iraqi Orphan Adoption
Scott Southworth is National Guard officer who saw combat in Iraq but who also discovered a young Iraqi orphan crippled with cerebral palsy -- a 10-year-old boy who faced a life of loneliness and suffering. After his tour of duty, Captain Southworth returned home to Wisconsin but could not forget about the boy named Ala'a. Soon after, the young veteran adopted Ala'a.
