People from my agency have gotten their new court dates already. It's disappointing because they know they won't pass due to MOWA being closed, but everyone hopes when they are assigned another date it will be before the summer closure.
Tomorrow they will be told to come back friday and friday they will be told....and now with the MOWA closing...this seems to be getting nowhere right now... Ny own agency still says, that the investigation is not over, at they talk to their in-country rep. every day. I really don't know what to expect anymore.
I think that I am taking a break from the blog...too much misinformation, confusion and disappointment. I wish you all lots of good luck and speedy resolution! Peace!
Our US agency said the following this morning: the investigation is officially over and our in-country representative was told on Monday to come back to court today (Wednesday). Our agency also said that they are unsure if the MOWA closure will affect families who had court dates and all of their paperwork prepared by MOWA prior to the closure. We actually had court the day the court's closed, so we were part of the the first families to find out. I hope this helps.
i just received a court date today for next week. our rep is supposed to go back at the end of this week to the judge to find out how the mowa closure is going to affect the court date.
my little one was abandoned in addis ababa.
the ban is over.....court dates are being assigned. bummer that mowa decided to close at this time.
Maybe all the letters for the held-up cases are done and that's why MOWA's doing training now for a couple of weeks because the court is going to be dealing with predominantly these cases.....could it be? Signed, The Optimist
Here's another optimistic theory: Maybe MOWA is not really doing training at all. Maybe they are scurrying to write the letters that are needed just before their court dates.
IF that theory is correct (and I realize that's a big IF) MOWA must believe this whole thing will be over with in about two weeks.
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
HUH??? They are giving court dates knowing that MOWA is closed? That is weird. Does the right hand know what the left is doing??
ReplyDeleteI know someone specifically with a new court date in mid-July. It makes me think the court and MOWA just don't communicate with each other AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteour agency was told come back tomorrow to find out new court dates.
ReplyDeleteSå what was everbody doing at the court today?? So many reps were going there... What happened at the meeting??
ReplyDeleteTomorrow they will be told to come back friday and friday they will be told....and now with the MOWA closing...this seems to be getting nowhere right now...
