ETHIOPIA ADOPTION PROGRAM UPDATE – February, 2009

Lynn and I just returned home from spending eight wonderful days with our staff in Ethiopia. We met with government officials, orphanage staff, foster home staff, and U.S. Embassy officials. We also met with officials from Ethiopian Airlines and three major hotels in Addis. In addition, we escorted two beautiful children from their foster homes to their adoptive family in Dallas, Texas.

We currently have 27 adoptions in progress in Ethiopia. Twelve will be finalized with the next two months. Our Ethiopian staff set a goal of assisting a minimum of 70 orphaned children to be placed with wonderful families in the United States through West Sands Adoptions in 2009! Our goal is to more than double that number in 2010. We are all committed to accomplishing this goal. In addition, WSA is in the process of establishing a Free Medical Clinic in Ethiopia.

We have worked hard to streamline the adoption process and keep the cost of adopting as low as possible. Please contact us at asacredmission@gmail.com, 435-313-6323 or toll-free at 866-677-3077 for: 1) A list of the step by step procedures in adopting from Ethiopia, and 2) Our current fee schedule. We will be more than happy to personally answer any questions you may have.

*Government policy (MOWA) allows single women to adopt from Ethiopia. Please note that the difference between the age of the adoptive mother and adoptive children should not exceed 40 years. For example, if an adoptive mother is age 55, she can adopt children 15 years of age or older.

Your stay in Addis need only take three days to complete the adoption process and bring your child/children home.

We believe there is a beautiful child waiting for you in Ethiopia! Please contact us.

A Trip to Ethiopia

Kent and Lynn returned this week from a successful trip to Ethiopia. While there, they met with their Ethiopian staff and with Embassy officials. They were also excited to escort two children back to the United States. Yabsera, age 6, and Melat, age 3, will live in Gilmer, Texas with their new family, Stephen and Tiffany de Gala. The de Gala's were thrilled to meet their new children, and look forward to a wonderful future together.
