We received word for AGCI today that the Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) is considering reviewing only 5 adoption cases a day vs the 40-50 they currently see. This change would dramatically postpone when we would get a referral, etc. The word is that this reduction is due to lack of staff to properly conduct ethical adoption procedures. I am hoping that the government sees the need for more staff and fills enough positions to maintain the need for placing the almost 5 million orphans in Ethiopia with forever families. Feeling apprehensive tonight...
We watched "Black Gold" this evening. It is a documentary about the injustices of the coffee industry and trade in Ethiopia. Very disturbing. Makes you want to aspire to do great things to change the inequities of the world.
