Children's Hope International
has found homes for 30 orphans from Ethiopia since our first
family returned home in August 2007. Nearly 100 orphans from
Ethiopia will have new loving families by the end of 2008.
Children's Hope is committed to be there for you each step
of the way to see you to the end of your adoption journey
with as few bumps as possible. Families love our Ethiopia
Adoption Team in the US and in Addis Ababa.
Stacie and
Kevin, Children's Hope first family for Ethiopia adoptions,
arrived home safely, cradling their new son in their
arms. The couple traveled to Ethiopia in August 2007 to meet
their 6-month-old son, Micah Yabsira, in the Children's Hope
transition home in capital city Addis Abba, Ethiopia.
Micah with his
mother Stacie are pictured to the left.

Ethiopia, the
Country
and Its Children
Ethiopia
is a beautiful country situated in the Northeastern
part of Africa near the Red Sea,
which is also known as The
Horn of Africa. It is a country rich in
culture, history and national pride, and is also
called The Cradle of Humanity. The territory of Ethiopia
measures 1,098,000 square kilometers and is slightly
smaller than the state of Alaska. It is in Ethiopia
where the great African river, The Blue Nile, has
its source. It is among the 20 most populated
countries in the world, 2nd most populous
region in African, with a population of
approximately 77 million. As well, it is on of the
oldest countries in the world with a recorded
history of over 3000 years and was the home of the
Queen of Sheba. Seventeen years of civil war in
Ethiopia, which lasted from 1974 until 1991,
bankrupted the country and left millions of orphaned
children.
The
children are beautiful. Children waiting for placement are male and female,
infant to 15 years old, healthy as well as special
needs.
Single
birth and sibling groups are available.
Many children have resided in a local orphanage, community
care or in the hospital of birth prior to being matched with
a family. The children are tested for HIV, Hepatitis B,
Tuberculosis and Venereal Disease prior to being placed.
