BIOLOGICAL FAMILIES IN MY AREA
In the last period I had the chance to meet some biological families here near Hossana, where I'm from as i'm here during the rainy season.
I have been thinking a lot in regard and I do not see any solution. I met a family that was geting info from the child for a while, and then everything stopped! so they were asking me if I can find out who are the adoptive family and ask them to send pictures of the child...
I realized that the biological families do not realize that they give away their children not to see them again. Some of them believe that the child will go and learn in a foreign country to come back to them once they finish to learn... that means that the sense of giving in adoption and getting in adoption is very different and opposite.
As an Ethiopian I feel how difficult is for bio families to be without any information, and also I realize how difficult is for adoptive parents as well.
I believe there is good to be in touch with the biological family, may be just sending pictures from time to time. they still think of their children and they are so happy to have news about them!
If any of you reading this has a child from Hossana and want more information, please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,
Selam
