| dc.description.abstract | The objective of the study is to assess The Ban on Inter-country Child Adoption in Ethiopia and its Impact on the Child‟s Life. It examines the impact of the law banning inter country adoption has on the life of the children. The research design employed for this study is qualitative research design. The sources of data are literatures and in-depth interviews. On selection of the key informants, Non-probability, purposive sampling was used to identify the potential research participants. After acquiring an important findings the study reached at a conclusion that ICA should continue in Ethiopia being one the alternative child care opportunities. The hesitation of the adequacy of domestic options, the compromised quality of care in orphanages, the risk of living on the streets and those who need special care like Peoples with disabilities and other problems necessitate ICA to continue as a valid option in Ethiopia. Besides, ICA is not always problematic. There are plenty of stories where, through the loving care and support of adoptive families, babies and children separated from birth parents for whatever reason, be it death, poverty, neglect, violence or environmental catastrophe, thrive and develop into well-adjusted adults with their own individual sense of identity and belonging. Based on this conclusion the study finally recommends that Formalized ICA adoption should remain in place and accepted by the government of Ethiopia parallel to the domestic child care alternatives. Despite being an option that has been promoted by a number of external factors as the most advantageous for the protection and best interests of the child. | en_US |
