ETHIOPIA PROGRAM UPDATES
The news we
have all been waiting for finally arrived early on April 5,
Children’s Hope is officially
licensed in Ethiopia. With the signature of the Ethiopian
Ministry of Justice, Children’s Hope finalized the accreditation
process as an international adoption and humanitarian aid agency
in Ethiopia. Children’s Hope is only the seventh U.S. adoption
agency to be licensed in the African country.
“Our families
are so excited about the news that their adoptions from Ethiopia
can now move forward,” Sharon Turner, Children’s Hope Ethiopia
Adoption Director said.
With over 30
families who now have approved applications and another 70
families waiting to apply, Turner and the Ethiopian adoption
team are now at full stride. Tsegay Fesseha, who is the
Children’s Hope adoption coordinator in Ethiopia says orphanages
are eager to assign orphans to Children’s Hope families.
“The goal is
to have some of our families traveling by early summer,” Turner
said. “But it all depends on how quickly they can finalize their
dossiers (adoption paperwork) and parent education.
With nearly 4
million orphans in Ethiopia, the need is great. Ethiopia placed
731 orphans in U.S. homes in 2006 that is up from the 289
adoptions in 2004.
