Ethiopia Update!

When we decided to adopt internationally, we knew the process would be difficult. Our adoption with Selah was emotionally taxing, as throughout much of the time after visiting her, we knew that, due to the unrest in Guatamala, we might not get to bring her home. Fortunately, for our family, we brought her home the very week the new President in Guatamala was inaugerated and major changes in adoption were taking place. Many families did not get to finish their adoption. WELL, once again, we have chosen a country that is becoming unstable. I was on several blogs yesteday and it seems that they may decrease adoptions by 90%, starting on March 10. I am waiting to get an update from our agency but if this is true, it is truly tragic. This is a country where there are 5 MILLION ORPHANS. This country has extreme poverty and more than likely, the majoritiy of these kids, if not adopted will die. So, this goes well beyond what Debbie is feeling. This has nothing to do with me, and everything to do these children. God is in control. I absolutely believe this. I am asking, those of you who are prayer warriers to lift up this situation and plead for the future of so many children.
