Ethiopia – Single Applicants

Ethiopia – Single Applicants – 10 September 2009

The Department has been advised by the Ethiopian Ministry of Woman’s Affairs (MoWA) that no further adoption applications from single applicants will be accepted. This applies to any potential applications from single persons yet to be approved by State and Territory Central Authorities, including those who have lodged adoption applications and are currently under assessment.

MoWA has agreed that existing applications already approved by State and Territories can be progressed. This includes those applications lodged with the Australian Representatives in Ethiopia, and those approved and waiting with Central Authorities.

If you have any queries regarding your adoption application, please contact your State or Territory Central Authority.
