There has been a news story from a single source (Voice of America) reporting that the Ethiopian government agency responsible for processing international adoptions will cut the number of cases they review from 50 to 5 per day. We have had several friends and family contact us about this change and how it might affect our adoption. The short answer is, we're not sure. First, this story has yet to be confirmed by other sources. It is not currently listed as an alert on the U.S. Department of State website. Second, if it is true, we don't really know whether it will affect our family given that we already have a court date in Ethiopia. In the meantime, we have our bags packed and our ready to get on an airplane on Wednesday 3/9/11.
The adoption journey is a bumpy one for everyone involved. We are committed to being flexible and calm throughout the process and understand that there are many variables that can impact us along the way. We appreciate your support and prayers and we will keep you all updated on the process as soon as we have news.
