Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them...he cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” God said, “I did do something. I made you.” ~Author Unknown

Bummed!!!


 
After several days of spotty internet availability in Addis Ababa with no word on our outcome, we were informed that we did not pass yesterday evening.  (heart sinks to the bottom of stomach)

I'd prepared myself for this possibility, but it still sucks!  We have been rescheduled for May 4th. Yeah! - that's only 13 days away.  Boo!! - that is 13 days away.  I'm ready to go get my boy :)   

Anyways, we wait and pray for a "pass" on the 4th!

    Oh, I'm SO sorry. We did not pass court the first time either. I know how tough this is. But, we had to wait a whole month for another court date, so 13 days will go fast!

    His timing is perfect!

    Praying you pass! (On your next apt) or that by some miracle they revisit your paperwork and it's complete and AGCI gets notification that you've passed!

    Yuck. I just found your blog but you can add me to the list of people that will be praying for you!!! My husband and I just started our Ethiopian adoption journey, and I am trying to prepare my heart for pitfalls like this that come along the way. I am so sorry for the disappointment. But we're praying for a pass for you on the fourth!

    Hi Vanessa. I have tried twice to email you pictures and both have come back as undeliverable. I have no idea why? Contact me if you would like and we will see how I can get them to you. Sorry.
