Today there was a teleconference between adoption agencies, prospective adoptive parents and the USCIS (United Sates Center for Immigration Services). We were not able to participate due to work schedules, but our Agency sent a summary. The news didn't really seem like any steps forwards, but at least there weren't any large steps backwards. The next step will be the USCIS and the DOS (Department of State) meeting with those overseeing adoption proceedings in Ethiopia in the next few weeks. Please pray for these meetings and that the government officials will help each other work through the discrepancies and concerns regarding Ethiopian adoptions.
Please also pray for our child. We are eagerly awaiting our referral phone call and we are taking turns being impatient about that. As we wait, our minds can only imagine what our child's situation might be as they wait for their forever home. Pray for their protection, nourishment, development and care. We know that God knows the number of hairs on their head and we trust that He loves them even more than we do.
