...new court date is May 29.
Now, that the tears have dried up a bit, here is additional information. The judge requested them to try again to locate her birth mom. They don't have a lead so they did additional police investigations and reporting, but it wasn't enough. The judge requested that my agency try again to locate the birth mom, so we need to pray for a lead (that would be simplest way to complete this process). If they can't locate her, then there will have to be quite a bit more police investigations and a police officer will have to show up in court. However, where the police for this is located is in southern Ethiopia and they typically won't travel to Addis Ababa without a court order, which could then delay things even more. So, please continue to pray, and thanks to all for your encouragement today.

So sorry- Glad they were able to reschedule so soon- I know it seems like an eternity to you though :)
I know your heart is aching because mine is for you! I know that this is all in HIS timing, but that doesn't make it any easier. Praying for you!
Thinking of you and your sweet girl...I hope all goes well for your next court date and you are on your way to bring her home very soon.
I'm sorry you didn't pass. I hope the birth mother is found soon.
aww I am so sorry!! I can't imagine what you are feeling right now!! Thoughts and Prayers are with you that they find the bm so that it will go smoothly!!
Dear Shala: A part of me is glad that they are wanting to be as thorough as possible to find the birth mom...then, another part wonders how this sweet girl is in the position of being considered to be adopted out in the first place...do they not perform this due diligence before getting the process started? I am VERY ignorant on this...sorry!
I don't understand why a white family wants to adopt an Ethiopian child. Can't you find children in the US to adopt?
Every child needs a home regardless of race, religion, etc.
My question to "Anonymous" is what are you doing to help an orphan? With over 143 million orphans in the world today, what part are you playing or are you willing to play?
Oh, Shala. I'm so sorry you didn't pass court. Waiting is so hard, especially when you're looking at her sweet face!
We are going through the exact same issue! So hard (we have not made it yet to court, but the issue is the same!). Many prayers going your way! (Send them our way as well!!!)
There is a time for every purpose under heaven. Praying for peace to guard your heart and mind while you wait. And hope it will be soon.
