Escort Fees -- OPTIONAL
Escort of the child is
available, although Ethiopian officials strongly prefer that
adoptive families travel to receive their child. However, in
the case where you require an escort service for one child,
the following estimated fees would apply. Please discuss
this option with the agency, as viability of an escort is
determined on a case by case basis:
Escort of one child: $2,000
plus all related travel, meals, accommodations and expenses
for escort. |
