Summary Last month, the Federal government ended its sometimes controversial intercountry adoption program with Ethiopia, dashing the hopes of waiting couples. More than 600 children - mostly orphans - from the impoverished nation have found new lives in Australia. Most notably, cyclist Cadell Evans and his wife adopted an Ethiopian baby last year via an overseas program. In 2001 Ian and Sandy Johnson from Queensland's Sunshine Coast set off to Ethiopia to collect an orphaned little girl, and then later, her newly discovered five year old brother.
