Ethiopian Children Need Your Help

Last week the Ethiopian Ministry of Women’s, Children's, and Youth Affairs announced their intention to reduce inter-country adoptions by 90% beginning March 10, 2011.

The Ministry’s plan for a dramatic reduction is apparently based on two primary issues;

1. the assumption that corruption in inter-country adoption is systemic and rampant and;
2. the Ministry’s resources should be focused on the children for whom inter-country adoption is not an option.

I would like to encourage you to sign a petition in support of the orphaned children in Ethiopia and the families trying to bring those children into loving homes.

For information and to sign the petition, please visit the Joint Council Emergency Campaign for Ethiopian Children Petition.


This adoptive mom thanks you!
