I'm a WHFC client, and I've been on the Ethiopia waiting list for quite a while (in fact, I'm getting ready to re-do most of my paperwork soon). I don't have much contact with other waiting parents, so these honest updates keep me informed of the situation. It's tough to wait - and patience I'm sure is wearing thin. I know WHFC is working hard to resolve this and bring your children home as soon as possible.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756111677520846699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-461223260594714962012-02-12T17:48:25.308-05:002012-02-12T17:48:25.308-05:00Gah, this is such a mess!

I'm glad to hear that WHFC is helping, and honestly, as a PAP with them, I'm glad to hear they will probably not be continuing to work in this region. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am thinking about you, hoping for good news very soon.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533605951512372935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-56549375981752474262012-02-12T12:59:38.679-05:002012-02-12T12:59:38.679-05:00I agree about Wide Horizons.

They are very diligent and proactive and work in an organized timely way. They will do everything possible. <br /><br />I am sorry this is happening. You are right. I did hear some people say the children are better off in orphanages. Even if the orphanages were adequately equipped I would disagree, however the orphanages are under supplied and sometimes closed. Thousands of children live on the streets. <br /><br />I hope this is resolved as quickly as possible.<br /><br />Kristineknhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612658633007520397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-71457787047331997612012-02-12T10:21:27.118-05:002012-02-12T10:21:27.118-05:00Such a crazy story.

I truly hope things move forward quickly for you. <br /><br />Out of curiosity, have you heard if WHFC is rethinking working in the region or with the boys' orphanage as a result of your experiences? Maybe your experience will help some other family in the future?<br /><br />Good luck!Myleen Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225588552780400437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-247888882297195152012-02-11T14:49:05.612-05:002012-02-11T14:49:05.612-05:00I am so sorry that your family has to go through t...I am so sorry that your family has to go through this and I hope things get resolved asap for you and your boys.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09167285276763745176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-47894484596608830682012-02-11T13:56:10.017-05:002012-02-11T13:56:10.017-05:00I am sorry that there is yet another bump is the r...I am sorry that there is yet another bump is the road to bring your kiddos home.Scott and Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325620185694078617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-50448294591884395352012-02-11T13:24:20.052-05:002012-02-11T13:24:20.052-05:00This is absolutely mind-boggling.

Their agency tried working through MOWA, the courts, everything. They finally got their own lawyer in ET because the agency was not making headway and in two weeks things moved forward. If no progress is made, I say would want to seek other avenues and get the boys the hell out of that orphanage. That is one thought from a supportive bystander. Hope things change soon dear.scooping it uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801475653537826888noreply@blogger.com
