Some News....

We still eagerly await our referral call (and Vicki was secretly hoping it would come in time for Dave to really celebrate Father's Day), but we thought we'd share a little bit of news. Please read the excerpt from an email we received from our agency today......at least it is movement in the right direction! :-)

Dear Families~

We are happy to report we received word that MOWYCA (Ministry of Woman's Youth and Children's Affairs) decided to increase the number of new cases they will approve to ten per day. (as opposed to the five that they were doing) They also stated that they plan to increase this number to 15 per day, over the next few months. It is our understanding that this is in addition to the backlog cases they continue to work on.

Other pieces of information that we have been told:

-The courts are opposed to a dramatic decrease in cases approved and recently demanded that MOWYCA review more than five cases per day.

-The courts are scheduling approximately 20 hearings per day.

Family and friends - please continue to pray for the children in Ethiopia and around the world who need a family! Thank You!
