Again, the rumors are circulating that Ethiopia is limiting adoption agencies to allow only 3-10 single women to adopt from Ethiopia each year through each individual agency.
There is more truth to this than previous times. At least one agency gave their single women in progress notice via mail and conference call on Monday that they are enforcing this limit. This means, for them, they could wait another 1-3 years from now for their referral.
CHS is checking into this. I am VERY happy to be with CHS at the moment. They have great communication with the governmental agencies and have a strong presence and great reputation in Ethiopia. Currently, I don't really know anything. If this rule would truly go into effect, CHS could potentially lobby for us singles to be grandfathered in. Anyway, I don't know anything different and am hoping for my referral in the next few weeks. Of course, it would be more than a bit discouraging when I am in the 11th hour, to be told the adoption is off permanently or it will be another year. But, I can't use any stronger language on the blog. My MOTHER reads this blog! I will let you know when I know...

DeeAnn,
Sorry I didn't get to talk to you at work today. I thought that you probably weren't ready to talk about whatever it was that had happened so I didn't want to ask- not because I wasn't concerned though! Now that I've read your blog, I feel very sad and scared for you. You are going to be such a great parent, and it isn't fair that you have had to go through such turmoil. I really do believe that good things happen to good people and I have complete faith that everything will work out for you. I'm sure this must be difficult beyond anything I can imagine. Please know that you have a lot of people who care about you and are more than willing to do anything you need. You will be in my thoughts and my prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything.
