Adoption ending in Ethiopia?
Adoptions are very important in Africa because the country is so poor and dangerous. If the adoptions ended, kids' safety in Ethiopia will be worse than it really already was. Most parents have their kids do chores and things outside where wild animals roam and the parents knowingly know they are risking their childrens' lives. Typically, about 9,000 kids are adopted yearly but the number has dropped to 1,000. Imagine how many sweet, young , adorable kids have no home or family and will never have one. Their whole life will be with no one to see and know one to love. This new law in Ethiopia might change Ethiopia in so many different ways. What can we do to help?

I absolutely agree with you, kids deserve to be with their birth-parents. My question to you is that if they added a law about kid adoptions (by force), was it written for a cause? In other words, why did they write this law? I think this is a very good yet sad topic you picked. I fell really bad for the kids who got adopted, I really hope in their life time that they get the chance to meet their real parents.
ReplyDeleteSadly some parents in Africa are just too poor to provide for their children, with the average income only $380, and are forced to put them up for adoption. The only thing to help these children who need a better home is to start adopting. The world needs to know that the children of Ethiopia need a better future, and that they can help by adopting even one child.
