Many prayers have been answered - as my brother Justin's cancer was found to be SHRINKING!!! Halleluiah!!! Heidi's scan also came back looking good! Now we continue our prayers for Cory's dad, who has his next scan set for April 11th!
For Ethiopian news:
We've been updated with some encouraging news - or we are taking it as encouraging news! When we were notified of the drastic reductions potentially coming to Ethiopia, we knew some of the reasons stemmed around corruption. We also found out then that within days of that announcement, the director of MOWA and several other staff members were terminated.
The Joint Council has since reported that MOWA has completed their staffing changes and are working at full capacity to complete adoption cases. They are not putting any restrictions on the number of cases each day so we continue to pray that their drastic changes will not go into full effect.
It also appears that new cases continue to move forward. It is still unknown whether or not MOWA will issue a formal statement regarding how they will process cases, but it does not look like to be at the drastic decrease they originally proposed. The hope is that many groups will come together to support the government of Ethiopia in strengthening the process for ethical adoptions to continue. The main focus is not necessarily on the numbers that they will process each day, but in staff doing their jobs.
So Cory and I continue to plug away during the paperwork stage of our adoption.
