If we could do an Ethiopian adoption we would be open to it. I have read a few blogs of parent's who have adopted from Haiti or Ethiopia and have HIV+ children and their lives are pretty "normal". I read somewhere that HIV+ children usually only go to the doctor a few more times a year than a child who is hiv-. Mostly it is about managing their medication.

I saw on an agency website a 5 yr old girl (both parent's passed away from HIV) from Ethiopia who is HIV+ and the village she lives in won't allow her to go to school, breaks my heart, I really wish we could adopt her! I also believe the agency waives most of the fees.

I think I have info on an agency who will waive A LOT of the adoption fees for a child over 2, who is HIV+ and adopted from Ethiopia. You only have to pay for travel a homestudy, USCIS fees, and I think that is about it. Email me if you want the info.

Good luck!
