Things Are Moving Again!

Well, we found out that the courts will be re-opening on Monday, October 8th for sure! We have been waiting for this news!
We are also excited to hear that the David's, Carpenter's and the Singleton's have received referrals! There were also two other families that we don't know that received referrals! Things are moving right along now!
The following is the Weekly Update for AWAA (our agency) which is full of great news!
America World [Ethiopia program] is happy to announce that we received referrals for six children this week; four of the children were males, and two of the children were females. The ages of the children ranged from approximately 1 ½ months to 11 months old. There are five families currently reviewing the referrals for these children. We look forward to receiving their responses within the next week!
As mentioned in the Ethiopia September monthly update, America World signed a lease for a transition home in Addis Ababa last week! Once this home is up and running, the children who are being adopting by America World families, will be transitioned to this home from the orphanage between the time of referral and travel. In addition to this, our in-country staff liaison has recently hired two additional staff to help with adoption processing. Our agency believes that both of these accomplishments will lead to a smoother, more efficient adoption process for Ethiopia families, so we are happy to share this news!
