ABANDONED CHILDREN
Been abandoned is one of the typical story of the children, specially the ones that are under one year. In the papers say where the child have been found and there is normally a police report. Some times is near a mission, hospital or other public place where, I guess, the mother expect that the child will be found soon.
Once I was going out of Addis and I was speaking with a social worker. At that moment someone called him and after he told me that another child have been found.
REASONS
I have born and grow up in Ethiopia, I know what means to be poor. Somehow in the city there are many associations, missions etc where a mother can get help, food or money, but out of the city sometimes the life is hard and they can not afford a child. Specially if they have no husband. so they prefer to give the child in adoption.
There can be also social reasons. Out of the city is a big problem to give birth out of the marriage. The woman is excluded from the society if it happens.
In the city sometimes the young women that have economical problems they accept to make sex with sugar daddy that give them money. It can happen they were raped. Specially in this last case for them is hard to see the child.
As a law fact a mother can not say that she can not grow up a child, there is no legal way to give the child in adoption, at least if the mother is healthy, so they must abandon the child.
THE ORIGINS
May be in a case like that you may think that is not useful to find the origins. No one knows. Sometimes going to ask about cases like that is posibe to see the files of the child and discover something new, like someone that founded the child or someone that have seen the mother even for a short time and can tell something about her.
Even it can happen that the social worker can guess who was the mother and something can be found. Is not easy, really not.
Another thing is to be sure that the child story is really true. That is also a big thing even if is difficult to tell about that
