Ethiopia Adoption
This program is: open on a limited basis
The Ethiopian government has authorized very few adoption agencies to operate in that country. If adoptions are attempted by outside means, the children will not be eligible to receive permission to exit the country. Beginning March 10th, 2011, Ethiopia will reduce the number of intercountry adoptions by 90%. Check back often for additional updates.
Visit the Adoption Directory for Ethiopia Adoption Agencies and other professionals and services.
In 2011, U.S. citizens adopted approximately 1,732 children from Ethiopia. Children of all ages are available for adoption including infants, sibling groups, multiples (twins and even triplets), older and special needs children, both boys and girls. These children reside in orphanages.
