Guiding Principles.
Ethiopian adoptees and natural families are the focus of our work.
Ethiopian adoptees have a right to know their roots, and their histories belong to them.
Ethiopian families deserve their own post adoption services on their own terms, independent of their relationship status with adoptive families. Our social workers are devoted to their concerns.
Adoptive parents can be a valuable and cherished support system for their adopted child in search and reunion. Adoptive parents of minor children are guardians of precious family history.
Adoption search and reunion is a personal matter.
We do this work in the name of justice for adoptees and their Ethiopian families.
Our Model.
Our social workers in Ethiopia are agents of and for Ethiopian families directly. Their work is funded by the organization, not by individual adoptive families. Our intent is to balance the power dynamic as much as possible within disparate economic situations. The result of this is that Ethiopian families have a dedicated support system that is unencumbered by finances and independent of support from adoptees/adoptive families.
