Program Highlights
In Ethiopia, both sexes of children are available. Infants, toddlers and older children are available for adoption. Children typically become available for adoption due to the devastation of poverty, effects of war, civil strife, or their parents might have died from an illness.
** Currently we are only accepting applications for families wishing to adopt children 3 years and older due to our growing list for infants and younger children. Please check our website frequently to see when we begin accepting applications for families wishing to adopt younger children and infants in the future.

Traveling to Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a beautiful country, rich in history and culture. Never having been colonized, Ethiopia is one the world's oldest nations.
Ethiopia's people, though poor, are some of the friendliest anywhere. It is very pro-Western and is a relatively safe place to travel for you and your family.
Traveling to Ethiopia is easy. British Airways has weekly flights, and Ethiopian Airlines, a first-class and child-friendly airlines flies regular flights out of Washington, D.C.

Pam Santos tells of her experience adopting six-month Elijah Yohanis, and Elijah's meeting his new family back in the United States. 
Ethiopia was one of the poorest nations I have ever visited, but also one of the richest in regards to culture. Share my journey through my photos of the capital and beyond.
