Ethiopia Adoption, a beautiful way to build a family

From Ethiopia… to your home

Beautiful children… a bright opportunity for you…
to bring a son or daughter into your family and to provide belonging and love for a child in need of a home.

Holt International brings its five decades of nurturing care and international adoption expertise into Ethiopia, a country of great need. Despite its rich history and agricultural potential, Ethiopia has an estimated 4.3 million homeless children.

Now, Holt International offers an attractive international adoption process from this African nation. Along with adoption, we are also improving childcare and child welfare systems through a variety of programs for orphans and children at risk in Ethiopia. Choosing Holt will not only change your life and the life of the child you adopt—it will also enrich your family and community and bring hope to many other children in Ethiopia as well.

The children—boys and girls from infants to 7 years old, can be as young as 6 months at placement. Typically, they are healthy and well adjusted after being in Holt’s care. (more...)
