Nope. No news. Nada.
HOWEVER....
About the only good part of this whole crappy adoption is the friends I've made in process. Some I've met in person (such as Tina - whom I now consider a very good friend) and friends that I have met while sharing emails, blogs, etc. We are all just people. We are all just moms with maternal holes in our hearts and pits in our stomachs resulting from a process that has had too many bumps and has taken too long.
I have found much comfort, solace, and wisdom from these fine ladies. One friend, in particular, has been very resourceful in times of need. Her name is Zoe and she has a real talent for putting her calming perspective into written word. She has an amazing blog (slowmama.com) that every woman needs to subscribe to! She is ahead of us on the WACAP list and has been waiting almost one year longer to adopt siblings. Poor thing. I am holding our for her just as much as I am for us.
She recently did an excellent job writing about exactly what is going on with Ethiopian adoptions and why this has been dragging out. Luckily she was willing to let me share.
