Update

Hey everyone,
I got an email from our agency today and it looks like things are back to normal in Ethiopia! I'm so thrilled that we won't have to wait any longer :) God is so good... They are back to processing 40 adoption cases a day instead of the dreaded 5 they were going to decrease to....

Thanks for all the prayers and I will let you know more details when I get them!

MOWA

Well, I haven't posted in a while and it's honestly because I have recieved nothing but bad news from our agency since the new year. It all has to do with the govt and MOWA (Ministry of Women's Affairs) over in Ethiopia. We have been praying heavily for the continuation and easy flow of adoptions coming out of the country...since March 10th, MOWA has decreased adoptions by 90% meaning it will take many years to adopt from Ethiopia. Well, this is not good for anyone or any agency right now! We are all hoping this is a temporary change and that things will be running normal in a few short months.
Please pray for Ethiopia and that they are wise in the decisions they make about adoptions. We have complete faith that our baby is waiting for us :)
On a good note, Drew should be home in about 6 weeks which is AWESOME!! It has been a long, yet quick 6 months so far....I have kept very busy with work, vacations, the doggies and friends. Thankful to have a loving and serving husband :)
