I am not a sentimental or emotional person, but I am near tears at this moment to hear your great news! Congratulations and God Bless you and all who are waiting!
We passed court today with an abandonment case. Three families with our agency had dates today and one tomorrow with abandonment cases. The other families have not yet heard whether they have passed or not. I am keeping them in my thoughts, and all of you who need to get through this.
Sounds like Mowa is writing recommendations then? Please everyone keep us posted. My date is tomorrow(first court date) along with 10 others from my agency. I know we don't have a letter from before closure and hoping mowa gets to it tomorrow or today
We had a court date today and PASSED! Our original court date was May 18th... we are an abandonment case in Addis. Best of luck to everyone with upcoming court dates. I so much appreciate the support of this board! maggie
Conratulations to Maggie and everyone, who has PASSED today. This is exellent news:)
Did you had MOWA´s letter earlier? HAs your chid found in Addis and living non- coverment orphanages? Please can someone, who has passed, answer to us.
We have to wait 2 weeks before is our third court date...It will be very long days...
yes to all questions... We did not have a MOWA letter until today or very recently. Our daughter was abandoned in Addis and she was staying in a non-government orphange. We had an original court date on 5/18 but today was the first time that we were able to actually go to court. I understand that 2 weeks is a long time to wait...I am sorry. I hope that everyone on this board gets happy news very soon. maggie
i second everything maggie said. we had our first date on May 18 which did not occur b/c of the ban. our child was abandoned, not in a gov't orphanage. no prior mowa letter until today. rumor has it that mowa did not come back until 5pm on friday and they came in on saturday to write our recs. God bless them! Good luck to all!!!
I know my agency had four abandonment cases pass today. That has to be good. I have a court date soon and am hoping to keep the passing going. Yeah for good news. Can't wait to hear more passing news.
This blog was started in May 2009, when a hold was placed on the adoption of children who were found abandoned within the city of Addis. The hold personally affected hundreds of prospective adoptive families world-wide. These families were soon disheartened by the lack of news on the investigation, with some agencies getting and passing on more information than others. This blog was started as a compilation of any and all information we could gather about the investigation into Addis abandonment cases. Since that time, this blog has evolved to include any information pertinent to Ethiopian adoption. I post information that agencies give to their clients, with all sources remaining anonymous. I rely solely on PAPs and APs of the various agencies to share what they are being told. If you have any information from your agency on any aspect of Ethiopian adoption that you'd like to share, please email me at ethioadoption@gmail.com
We are an abandonment case that passed today! Praise the Lord! May many more follow us!!
