update

I know my last post was kind of stressed, I am feeling a lot better today. We have found out more bad news but I am confident that God is in control and that He will take care of our baby  boy while we cannot. The adoption agency that we have been working with in the US doesn't seem to be telling us the whole story. Apparently he has not been sending the amount of money he and the Ethiopian agency had agreed on, actually he has not been sending them any money since July. We and the other families has paid most of our fees post July so there is no reason why he would not have been able to send the money. The result in this is that there has been no money for the transition home to pay their rent, to pay the workers, or to buy food for the children.    Today they were supposed to be evicted from the home. We are not sure yet what is happening, the time difference is making it difficult to communicate. 

We were told by the Ethiopian agency that even if Shimeliss from St. Louis went to Ethiopia it would not do any good since the children are in the custody of the transition home not Shimeliss. At least this clears up whether we should give him more money or not. The other families and ourselves plan to make sure the children are taken care of and that we get out children home. 

We are very upset because we did so much research on agencies before we chose one and we really felt that Hope was the way to go.  We would have not been referred the same child if we had gone with another agency so we still feel that God lead us to Hope. Liam is such a perfect baby, his little personality is so close to ours it is like he grew up in our house :) It is just amazing how close we feel to him already, I cannot imagine what it will be like to get him home. 

We have so much going on right now, I feel like I am running as fast as I can but I am always 1 step behind. But one day everything will slow down and I will be in great shape :) Please pray for the children of Hope Ethiopia and Faith Children's Home Association. Also pray that we will be able to make the right decisions in the next few weeks.
