Jewish family also adopting from Ethiopia
Hi. We are also adopting from Ethiopia. We already have a 2 year-old daughter who is biological and we have are about to send off our dossier to USCIS for approval to complete an adoption from Ethiopia. We are a mostly practicing Conservative Jewish family who lives in the Bible Belt (Kentucky) and I long for more connection with transracially formed families and/or Jewish families raising young children. While there are a handful of Jewish families in our area who have adopted from various Asian and Eastern European countries, as far as I know, we'll be the first in the 2 congregations in town who have adopted from Ethiopia.
The Washington area sounds really nice; unfortunately we're several years away from being able to move, although we definitely would if we and our children needed more connections with others like them. Are there any other Jewish families adopting from Ethiopia living in the Ohio Valley/Bluegrass area??
In any case, it's nice to connect on the internet to provide support in any way we can for each other.
Thanks!
