No News is not necessarily good news!

Well Friday came and went with no news AGAIN! So we have maintained the top family on our adoption agencies list now for more than one month. With the exception of the court closures in Ethiopia I believe that is a record. Wouldn't you know it, it would have to be us. However, on the flip side my new found friend from the Chicago area (Sue) who is also adopting from Ethiopia emailed me on Friday (thanks Sue!) and told me that her case worker told her there was going to be a lot of news this next week. Apparently the head of the Ethiopian Dept. has been in Ethiopia for the past 10 days and they have not been able to make any referrals until she returns. So Shawn, Me and especially the children are still waiting for "THE CALL". As the wait continues it allows me to read more and learn more about this amazing country. I am so blessed that we have followed our heart and allowed God's hand to direct us on this amazing journey. As I was searching for more information tonight I came across this neat video clip. Another family captured there journey traveling from outside of Addis Ababa to the village where their children are from. It is very interesting. This is a trip I am so thankful that our agency provides. When we arrive in Addis they will make arrangements for a driver and interpreter to take us on the journey south to possibly meet with birth family (if known) and to see and experience where our son is from. Shawn is having reservations about this trip as he enjoys his Western comforts. However, he has come to see the light on the importance of this journey. He keeps reassuring me that he will be fine with the 3rd world bathroom accommodations. I will have to let you know how that goes. So "Good night" and happy viewing.
