Nepal Delegation Visits AAI
June 5, 2008
A group of Nepalese officials, along with AAI’s Nepal Coordinator, visited Michigan in May. The delegation included key people from the Ministry of Women, Children, and Social Welfare and the Nepal Children’s Organization, the two entities in Nepal that oversee international adoption.
The delegation visited two AAI families that have come home with children from Nepal and also spent time at AAI’s corporate office in Jenison, Michigan meeting with AAI staff and waiting families.
“Nepal’s push couldn’t come at a better time for international adoption agencies, said Michelle Dykema, AAI’s program manager for Nepal…AAI is one of 11 U.S. adoption agencies the Nepalese delegation planned to visit [in May] and the only one in Michigan.
