Long Past Due Rwanda Update

ONE DOOR CLOSES

We have been getting a feel from "rumblings" and information from families we know personally, families in Rwanda, families on FB, and other families working with other agencies that our adoption journey in Rwanda is no longer looking very promising :(

We have not been at peace for a very long time...

We have heard that as Rwanda transitions from being Non-Hague to Hague that they are no longer processing any more international adoption cases.  We have also heard that they are working toward closing orphanages, re-uniting children with any family found, and developing a foster-care system.  We do not know, at this point, if and when Rwanda will start processing international adoptions.

And, as I said, we have felt a sense of uneasy, stirring emotions, not peace. 

So, we've been doing a lot of praying.  Down on our knees, crushed hearts praying.  We have been whole-heartedly adopting a child from Rwanda for 3 years - love the country, love the culture, love the people, love the child we dreamed and prayed for.
