"We are thrilled to share positive news from Ethiopia. Earlier today Minister Zenebu, along with other high level MOWCYA officials, met with agency network representatives. In this meeting it was clearly expressed by Minister Zenebu that she does not plan to work to stop adoptions, but desires to focus on eliminating bad practice and continue to invest in good practice of Ethiopia adoptions. She reiterated that neither MOWCYA nor the Ethiopian Government plan to shut down adoptions within Ethiopia, and went on to encourage agencies to continue their work as normal."
This is exciting news for us! :) We are glad that they are going to continue forward with adoptions and that they are looking into certain issues to better the children's welfare. Definitely an answered prayer!!
We had decided to cancel our fingerprints for today because of snow & ice but after reading over the paperwork it said that if you don't show up for your appointment then it is considered "abandoned"! We definitely didn't want that or to have to pay another $800 fee. So, Allan drove us in the ice and snow to Greer, SC this morning, only to find out that they were closed and will reissue us another appointment time! The lady on the phone told Allan we could've just looked on the internet to find that info! That was kind of frustrating, considering we looked everywhere on the internet and couldn't find any information on if they were open or not! So, anyways within the next few weeks we will be heading back to SC to get fingerprinted, hopefully this time there won't be snow/ice!
