Waiting is hard. We have have now been a waiting family for 3 months and have moved 5 spots. We are very thankful for the 5 spots we have moved over the past 90 days...but 77 still seems like a very big number. For those of you who don't know, there has been a slow down in Ethiopian adoptions. To the best of our understanding, the southern part of Ethiopia has temporarily stopped adoptions with the hopes of cleaning up corruptions and allowing for better treatment of the children who need homes. While this in the long run is a good thing, it has slowed down the process significantly. We continue to trust God and his timing. We feel strongly that He has asked us to bring one of His children home and that His timing is perfect and sovereign...but waiting is still hard. We have heard from other adopting families that this period of waiting is hard because there is relatively little communication with the agency and relative little that we can do to speed up the process. We would ask for your support in prayer for peace during the waiting process, protection of Ethiopian adoption, and a restarting of adoptions in the southern part of Ethiopia.
2 Corinthians 12:9
"But he said to me, ' My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
