Ethiopia Adoption Laws - Children's Hope International Can Guide You

If you're interested in adopting a child from Russia, China, Colombia or Ethiopia, adoption laws vary from country to country, so you should be certain to work with an experienced international adoption agency to ensure that you are in compliance with the country's regulations. At Children's Hope International, we have facilitated international adoption for more than 15 years. During this time, we have placed thousands of Ethiopian orphans, Russian orphans and Chinese orphans with loving families in United States.

Regulations in Ethiopia: Adoption Laws

To qualify for adopting Ethiopian orphans, couples must be married for at least two years and have no more than two divorces. If you would like to adopt a child from Ethiopia, adoption laws require that there be no more than a 40 year difference between the age of the youngest parent and the child. In Ethiopia, adoption laws also require that prospective parents not be using certain medications, including anti-depressants and anxiety medication.

If you do not meet the regulations necessary to adopt Ethiopian orphans, you can still work with Children's Hope International adoption agency to give an orphan from another country a caring home. Single parents, for example, can adopt children from Colombia and Russia. With our extensive experience, we can ensure that you do not put your time or money into an application process where you are likely to face an uphill struggle to bring your child home.
