The good news: As I mentioned in the last post, we finally have been assigned an officer as of March 21st. I was thankful to hear this since it had been an entire MONTH that our paperwork was sitting in a pile, waiting to be reviewed.
The bad news: Ryan called today to check in on how our case is progressing, only to find out that after over a week of having it, our officer hasn't even looked at our files yet.
As you can imagine, this is incredibly frustrating for us. There are two kids who are waiting for their forever family on the other side of the world, and a family (OURS!) who is ready to bring them home. Instead of steady progress forward, we continue to be at a dead standstill. It's heartbreaking for us as the wait continues.
Unfortunately, this has been the norm for Ethiopian adoptions recently- very little progress for anyone in the process. We continue to pray that things start moving forward for all families and that God comforts all the children waiting.
Lamentations 3:22-23- "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
