This article from Tom Davis of Red Letters just came across my radar. It left me feeling like I had been punched in the gut. The news/alert has not yet been confirmed on the International Adoption- Department of State site, so let’s pray this decision is not set in stone.
Praying for a solution.
Praying for wisdom over the government.
Praying for families who are in the process to bring home their babies.
Praying for the little people who are waiting.
I agree with Tom Davis when he says, “There are too many orphans waiting for families. While I heartily support alternatives to adoption, simply cutting back by 90 percent will not will these into existence.”
From everything I’ve heard, it’s true. We are still on our agency’s e-mail list, even though we left the Ethiopia program, and they addressed it in an e-mail Friday. Did you read the VOA article?

thanks Lara-
Yes, Tom’s article included the VOM article. I Just went back and read AGCI’s newsletter from Friday. Really hoping this doesnt come to fruition…
I can’t even think about this actually happening…we must pray!!
