The Ethiopian Government has decided to make changes to their adoption process. They are consulting with other countries to see how their programs run.
While they are in the process of discussing/making those changes the government is not renewing licenses with Agencies in Ethiopia causing them to not send referrals out.
(Referral = Files containing a child's information (pictures/medical info/etc) matched with a family. This is what we are "waiting" to receive from our agency for our Lily.)
Our agency informed us that they are not accepting any more Applications for Ethiopia at this point & that worse case scenario we could move laterally to another program (Country) within our agency.......
When I hear the term in the adoption world "Worth the fight" this is the fighting I think of.
This fight is fought on my knees.
For we are not fighting against flesh & blood enemies, but against evil rulers & authorities of the unseen world, against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12
There is an enemy that is real y'all.
And his greatest desire is to steal, kill & destroy.
And he doesn't care what your name is, how much money you have or who your momma is!
He does not want these orphans to have forever families!
I know the end of the story and the Lord still.wins.
Would you please, please pray with us?!?!
Pray for:
*the orphans in Ethiopia
*the families waiting
*for birth mamma's & daddy's
*for speedy decisions/changes to take place within the government that would ultimately make this process more efficient!!

We are fighting for you baby girl!
Tooth.and.nail.on.our.knees.FIGHTING.for you!
The enemy will not win! He may cause delay but my God NEVER delays!
He is ALWAYS on time!
We are doing what Moses said:
"We are not going to be afraid! We are standing still & watching the Lord himself fight for you!"
Ex 14:13-14
May the things of Earth grow strangely dim in the light of His glory & grace,

[Choir:] On time God, yes he is
[Lead:] You can ask the children of Israel, trapped at the red sea, by that mean old Pharoah, and his army. They had water all around them, and Pharoah on their track. From out of nowhere, God stepped in and cut a highway, just like that, now let me tell you he’s an...
[Chorus]
[Lead:] You can ask the five thousand, hungry souls he fed, on the banks of the river, with two fish and five loaves of bread, what a miracle, he performed for the multitude, Oh what he did, way back then he’ll do the same for me and you.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Lead:] He’s on time
[Choir:] On Time
[Repeat as directed]
