The
Ethiopia Team has matched fourteen Children?s Hope families with
their children since the Ethiopian courts closed in September
and have now reopened. Since the beginning of November, four
families have received referrals and four additional families
with earlier referrals have had court dates scheduled. It is an
exciting time as the courts reopen to finalize our families?
adoptions prior to their travel to Ethiopia!
Children?s Hope Ethiopia program continues to grow and more and
more of our families completed applications to adopt from
Ethiopia are being delivered to the country everyday. November?s
referrals have been for a 10-month-old girl, a 14-month-old boy,
a 3 ?-month-old girl and a 6 ?-month-old boy. All families
waited 2 ? months or less for their referrals. Congratulations
to the happy families!
Information on Travel
Families will travel approximately 2 to 3 months after their
referral acceptance and will stay in Ethiopia for 5-7
days. Families who wish to visit Ethiopia for a longer time
period are free to do so; however, Children?s Hope transition
home House of Hope will only accommodate families who will be
staying up to 7 days.

Our Ethiopian staff will welcome those staying at the House of
Hope with open arms.
Don?t forget your gift of $10 can provide
a gift for an orphan.
