Adoptions of Abandoned Children Halted by Ethiopian Court
The Ethiopian First Instance Court has temporarily stopped accepting cases involving abandoned children from orphanages in Addis Ababa, citing concern over a recent increase in the number of abandoned children being brought for adoption. The number of abandoned children from orphanages in Addis Ababa has grown dramatically in recent months and Ethiopian authorities have become aware of possible cases of unethical practices associated with some of them.
I had a very good experience. I hopped to a 10 minute conversation with Rajiv Khanna where he answered my questions around GC maintenance, adoption, etc. This first call was at no charge.
