If you're a part of the adoption community, then you've probably heard about Ethiopia in the last week. A statement from MOWA (Ministry of Women and Children Affairs) said that Ethiopia will cut foreign adoptions by 90%. MOWA has been approving approximately 50 adoption cases a day. Starting March 10, tomorrow!, they will process 5. This is due largely in part to fraud in the adotpion process.
When I read this my heart sank. This country is so close to my heart because of Jada, because I've been there, because friends and family are still in process with adoption there, and because we've always thought we'd adopt from there again. Harvesting children is a terrible thing and needs to be dealt with. Reform in the process is a good thing. But, neglecting some of the legitamate 5 million orphans in ET, is not a good thing. There is so much need! I've said before that Satan takes what God intends for good and twists it to evil. But, I think GOD takes what Satan intends for evil and uses it for HIS good. He's the one in control. He wants the glory. He continually takes us through circumstances to conform us to His image. It's all about HIM.
So, will you join in prayer with me for the country of Ethiopia? Today many people will be fasting and praying for ET.
******What else can you do? Please go here to read more and sign an online petition that will go to Ethiopia's Prime Minister!**********
