Ethiopia Adoption Update

For another update...we are still waiting and we are #3 on the unofficial wait list!  We are asking for a lot of prayer for the Ethiopia program and specifically for the organization MOWCYA.  We have not seen a referral in several weeks.  They are only writing 5 referral letters a day --- for the WHOLE COUNTRY.  This isn't just 5 letters a day for our agency, but for the whole country.  This is down from some where between 30 - 50 cases a day.  It's unexplainable really, but it is what it is.  People are showing up for court and having to wait extra days for MOWYCA to get their stuff together and to the judge.  They are causing delay in many areas of this process and making it quiet difficult for the families showing up for court.  

Please lift these children, this program, and the families in this program specifically up in prayer.

The International Adoption Program in Ethiopia has helped benefit thousands of children.

There is some interest in domestic adoption in that country, but many children adopted domestically in Ethiopia are adopted to fill a "slave" type role and not necessarily to become part of a family.

Here is a picture of our kids meeting new friends who have now been home from Ethiopia now for 1 month!

They had a great time laughing and playing together.

It made them long to meet our sweet Nora all the more!

CONGRATULATIONS again to this family to have their sweet sons home!
