The timeframe to complete international adoption from Ethiopia is currently about 10 to 20 months, depending on the time families take to complete their dossier paperwork, their preferences for age and gender, and Ethiopia's in-country processes. This timeframe for Ethiopia adoption is subject to change; please consult CAN for the most current processing times for your adoption from Ethiopia.
3/10/11 Update Due to a procedural change by MOWA put in place on 3/10/11, the in-country processing time may now be extended. Please see the adoption notice on the U.S. Department of State's Intercountry Adoption website for details. We will update this page as more information becomes available.
