Ethiopia
We were excited and hopeful when we planned our inaugural Ethiopia Ties trip in 2021. Unfortunately that did not happen. However, we're hopeful that we can have our first trip in December/January 2025. That being said, the civil unrest occurring in Ethiopia may affect future plans. We are continuing to keep our eye on the situation in Ethiopia.
If you are an adoptee or loved one from Ethiopia interested in exploring the possibility of returning to your birth country, feel free to contact our Ethiopian Ties Program Manager, Rebecca Blessing. We would love to hear from you and discuss how we can support you in reconnecting with your roots. Your journey is important to us, and we're here to help facilitate meaningful connections and experiences.
