Update - DGM suspension.

I know that a lot of you have been following our adoption process since day one.

I know that you all hurt with us when we told you that the D.R.C. is not letting children out of the country currently.

So I don't have much of an update and do not really have anything concrete.

I still feel like you all deserve to be kept as up to date on our process as possible.

 

The DGM issues another announcement that they are no longer allowing singles to adopt.

Keep all these single women in prayer over the next few days.

Many of their children are already adopted and will never be able to go home.

It is tragic and heartbreaking to lose a child...not matter how the loss occurs.

 

They have made no statements about how long it will be before they lift the suspension.

Agencies used to feel like it will not last long, but after a meeting with them this last week they are not so optimistic.

It is so hard to predict what will happen because the D.R.C. has been so unpredictable in the past.

At this point agencies feel that their needs to be changes made to the adoption process so that the DGM can have some sort of assurance that Congolese children will be taken care of.

 

It sounds like a simple problem to fix but making a new procedure in the adoption world can be a lengthy venture.  So sadly we wait.  We know that God can do big things here but at the moment it is not looking like our kids will come home soon.

 

Please keep our children in your prayers and we continue to fight to get them home.
