Please keep praying that the approval of our family will go through in Ethiopia. The only thing that could put us in jeopardy is the number of children we already have in our family. Ethiopia is in the middle of putting forth some proposals about new adoption restrictions - one of which is no more than five children in a family upon adoption. Obviously we have six already. There are already agencies in the States that are not taking on larger families, in case this proposal goes through.
Apparently, our agency says that we will not be approved until after a court case. What that means to us is that we will have children referred to us and then about four weeks or so later, we will go to court.
At that point, the Ministry of Women's Affairs looks at our dossier and then will approve or not our file. That is tough, but I am confident that this adoption is meant to be and all the doors will open accordingly. But prayer would be appreciated.

It's fun to receive those type of emails!! I loved seeing them. Now, I can't wait to be told who are child(ren) are!!
Where do you live in B.C. I was born and raised in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. We moved to Alberta in 1997. We go to the lower mainland a few times each year as my husband's family still lives there. Congrats on all the completed steps.

Hi Justine and family,
Have faith, I really do believe your family will be approved. Your daughters will be home soon!

Wow, I had a lot of updating to do in your life. We've been crazy busy around here so I haven't gotten my normal computer time when the kids are in bed. We will be praying about the family size issue for you too. I'm glad the home study is done and gone and you can fret about other things!!!!
Praying...
Thanks for the lovely comment on our page. You have inspired me to write a little more.
Thanks again, your support is appreciated!
I pray about this daily for your family and mine and others like us out there and of course for the children who need families and how this change would affect them.
We are a large family. We have 4 bio boys and just recently got home with our 2 girls. I think it is sad that they are considering putting a cap on how many children we can have to still be able to adopt. Our girls are doing really well....I will keep you in my prayers as I know this affects a lot of people.
I will be praying!!
