Adoption from Ethiopia and US progressed

Delegations from the Adoption Authority (AAI) have visited Ethiopia and the US to examine the possibility of bilateral agreements to allow adoption from both jurisdictions.

A delegation, headed by AAI chairman Geoffrey Shannon, visited Washington DC at the end of March to discuss issues in relation to adoptions from Florida with the US state department.

“The meeting was very positive and productive for both sides. It is hoped that the current issues can be resolved as soon as possible,” said a statement.
