Search for an Adopted Child Here.

This is the list of adopted children searching for their Ethiopian families. The data may be different than what Ethiopian families have due to lack of information. Names could be changed, dates can be off by a couple of years or more, and so on. Columns on the table can be sorted by clicking at the top. Search the table using the search box below; however, note that there are many western spellings of Ethiopian names, meaning it’s good to search by other terms such as orphanage names or location. Dates are in GC, meaning Western calendar. Use the English words “left,” “found,” or “abandoned” to find a child adopted without family information.

Click the green button to see more about a case.

The word “abandoned” is used throughout this page because it is the official way a child is adopted if there is no family information. We understand that many children were given in desperation. These parents did not easily leave their children. Others were wrongfully taken.
