"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
Where are we in the process?
Last week I was on a conference call with our agency. The next person/couple on the list for siblings is in July. Meaning that's when they sent in their dossier. We sent in our dossier in October. So we have July, August and September families ahead of us. Of course that's a bit fluid because of request restrictions. The more restrictions a family requests the longer they'll have to wait. So its a moving target. We're anticipating our referral in April.
The average wait time to travel to Ethiopia after receiving your referral is two months. That would mean we'd travel around June. However, not to be an alarmist, but here's a travel warning I've read recently.
If things progress in Ethiopia as the Islamists would like we may need to have Nemo-Nema escorted to the US. That takes 4-5 months after receiving a referral. The worse case scenario is adoption from Ethiopia is disrupted.
Really, I didn't expect any more interruptions. This is a really long journey. I'm having trouble with, "Do Not Be Anxious" Thankfully I have a church family that will hold me up in prayer. I thank God for the people willing to be around for the not so pretty moments.
