{News coming out of Ethiopia today}
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.
I can't tell you how happy this news makes our family! Our biggest fear in the recent weeks was that Ethiopia would slam their doors shut to international adoption, leaving thousands of children to live our their childhood in orphanages. Even more encouraging (though it will take time I am sure) is Ethiopia's desire to eliminate bad adoption practices. We have been praying all along that Ethiopia work to reform their adoption processes while still allowing those most in need to be adopted.
My heart is full knowing that our little girl might just be out there waiting for us, right now.....this very moment.
We have know idea when we might learn of who she is, but please continue to pray over her and her family as she makes this journey to us.
