Prayer for Ethiopia!

I just wanted to post a couple of things that were sent to me.....
Please pray for Ethiopia & even though we don't know our new little one yet, please keep he/she in your prayers as well. My heart brakes knowing that such things are happening not only to Ethiopia, but the rest of the world as well. It kills me even more knowing that our child is living this out right now. Please pray for God to put His hands on Ethiopia to start the courts up sooner. There are many families just from our agency that are now just waiting for their court dates, which means many many children have homes already they just have to wait for the court to send them out of these devastating situations...

Email we received from our case worker
Dear Families:

Ethiopia is now experiencing their annual rainy season, and this impacts much of their daily lives. Roads that were somewhat accessible before are now all but washed away, and transportation is challenging. We can all imagine daily life for those who must endure this season every year.

The judges of the Federal Court are now beginning their two month leave, and are expected to return in late September. Only a few more court cases will be processed this week. A few cases have already been scheduled for court in mid October. We do not expect to receive any new news of court dates until early October.

We realize that many of you are wondering what will happen during the next two months. It seems like an eternity to wait, most especially if you already have a referral. It is our prayer that the next two months, and beyond, will pass with ease, peace, and comfort, both for the children and for all of you waiting mommies and daddies.

We expect at some point that the Foster Care facility in Addis will become filled to capacity with waiting children. When this occurs, the children in the orphanages will remain there until the courts open again, adoptions receive approval, parents receive Embassy appointments, and travel to Addis to get their children. This will create open spaces at the Foster Care facility to begin moving in children from the orphanages once again.
