CHOICES Adoption & Counselling Services
CHOICES is committed to providing a professional comphrehensive, client centered adoption service which best meets the needs of everyone in the adoption constellation with paramount consideration given to the best interests of the child.
Requirements
Adoptive Parents
Couples must be married. Single woman may apply. Age & marriage requirements vary between facilitators. Please contact Fiona Trotter, CHOICES In-House Ethiopia Program Social Worker for more information.
The Children
The children live in orphanages and range in age from infants to 10 years old with both boys and girls being available. Siblings and twins are common and are also available for adoption. Sufficient medical care is scarce in Ethiopia; however, children that have survived without their parents are thought to be very strong as they have been able to manage on their own. Ethiopia is a country shattered by war, drought and HIV/AIDS.
Estimated Cost
Please contact CHOICES to discuss fees for this program.
Timeframe
The homestudy through CHOICES takes three months. Once your homestudy is completed, your dossier preparation can take about one month. Adopting parents should be ready to travel three to six months after the proposal is accepted. The stay in Ethiopia is a week to 10 days.
