PLEASE PRAY

Our hearts are broken, we had court this morning and was told by the judge that the Ministry of Women's Affairs will not be approving our adoption because of reasons I do not want to get into right now. Our legal rep and the director is trying as I type to advocate of our behalf to get this decision over turned. This is our best chance, we are in good hands. Gordan is the new excecutive director and he and the board of our agency are all in Ethiopia right now, if he wasn't here i just don't know what would have happened. So our best chance is him, we are waiting for his phone call. Lee and i have been back at the guest house since court and just questioning why why why, we are trying to comfort each other, all we have is prayer right now but it doesnt seem enough, there is just a huge hole in our hearts. So it is 4 am right now in MH, i pray that many of you will feel the need to read our blog this morning so you can pray. We tried calling home a few hours ago to ask for prayer but our calls would not connect. I still cannot get on FB but please put on your status to pray for the over turn of this decision.

    Oh Melissa.... I'm so sad for you! I'm praying for this decision to be over-turned and I'm praying for comfort for the two of you.

    Lee and Melissa
    We are in shock over this news. We are praying for you both and the director, legal rep and the ones overseeing the adoption that God will speak to their hearts and overturn this decision. What a blessing that the director just happens to be over there at this time. What a comfort that must be. May God guide his words as he deals with this. Love mom and dad.

    Our hearts ached for you guys that morning and at the same time we were in awe of your strength and courage to stay standing and face that moment. I hope you know how genuine our hugs and sorrow were... I am so happy that you found me and that we can be in touch. It felt like we were a team that morning and we won't feel complete in our experience until we know that all of us have been successful. Much love and a big hug, A
