Parents are stated dead, whereas they are not, dates of birth are falsified, false information is provided to the Courts.<\/p>\n<p>But most important: The demand-driven intercountry adoption process is breaking up families, who could be helped in building up their lives with a fraction of the money involved in intercountry adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Source: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.againstchildtrafficking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Second-Interim-Report-FINAL-redacted-for-distribution+annexures.pdf\">Fruits of Ethiopia &#8211; \u00a0intercountry adoption: The Rights of the Child, or the \u201cHarvesting\u201d of Children?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 March 2016 After the adoptions from Romania, Guatemala, Cambodia etc. stopped, the adoption caravan travelled to Ethiopia.
