We still don't have any news to share in the adoption process. We actually haven't heard of any families being matched with any kids since before we were even added to the list. I assume this has to do with several things....
1) the huge number of matches which were made in May and June and all those families getting through the process and bringing their children home -thus in essence making room for more children to enter the transition home which is typically where the kids live once they are matched with a family and waiting for the court process.
2) it's the rainy season in Ethiopia which means electricity is even more scarce than the rest of the year. The courts in Ethiopia usually close for approximately a couple months during this time, which means that adoptions can't be processed.
3) our director in Ethiopia who processes ALL the adoptions is currently in the United States working with the staff here. This makes it difficult for him to match any children with families.
So I anticipate the matches will begin being made again within the next couple months.
We'll be sure to keep you posted as we hear anything.
