Although this is probably not a breaking story that will be aired on tonight’s world news - it is very close to our hearts and we ask for your prayers. Ethiopia’s Ministry of Women, Children, and Youth Affairs (MOWCYA) has stated a desire to reduce the number of recommendation letters they write each day for families in the court process. Although some of the details still remain unclear, as of March 10, 2011 the MOWCYA will reduce the number of adoption cases it processes down to five per day. Our hearts desire is what is best for the children of Ethiopia and we believe that every child deserves a family. What we know for sure is that we have been called to build our family through adoption. We know that God is bigger. We also know that His plan may not look like our plan. All we can do is pray, trust and rest in Him who is in control of everything.
