A visit to Ethiopia confirmed for Development Cooperation Christian Friis Bach in that there is a need for additional efforts to avoid unhappy adoption cases as Masho from the documentary "adoption come price" and Amy from Næstved municipality.

He therefore provides an additional allocation of five million dollars to UNICEF in Ethiopia to get cleaned up, writes Politiken .

- There has been a wave where adoptions have become a business. There are hundreds of institutions that have emerged as providers of children, and if you directly translate the words you use on them and their employees in the local language, Amharic, it means 'børnehøstere', ie people who collects children Ethiopia and dissemination to adoption, says the Minister.

Pressure on the government of Ethiopia

Documentary film about the girl Masho who are adopted from an Ethiopian family with father, mother and siblings and ends at a childcare center in Denmark, together with similar stories from the U.S. and other countries have also been known in Ethiopia.

- They have given UNICEF a platform to put pressure on the government to make sustainable efforts in the area of ??adoption. The negative publicity is something that affects the authorities of Ethiopia has taken decades to get out of the picture as a country where people are dying on the street, to a modern state, making solid progress, says Christian Friis Bach.

Orphanages expected to be closed

Unicef ??travel right now all over Ethiopia with government officials to visit the many orphanages that mediate adoption, and many expected to be closed.

In the long term, Unicef, the control of adoptions must be carried out by an independent institute that Ethiopia should ratify international conventions on adoption and the need to create a strong safety net around the most vulnerable families, so they are not pressured to adopt away their children.
