I’ve put off writing this post

I put a cute picture here, as things were going well for most of the day. This is R’s friend G, they take dance together, and we hung out afterwards eating rasisns, goldfish and cheerios. (the girls that is!) Gloomy news came later on.

So, this is a bad news adoption update. It seems that despite the fact that Zambia is sending referrals to us (The agency), The Ontario Ministry of Youth and Family Services will not let our Agency give them to us. Their reasoning is that if there is any sort of suspension in Zambian adoptions, they will not let us proceed (despite the fact that our Agency is exempt from these suspensions in Zambia’s eyes). So this sucks. We are waiting then for the ‘Official” suspension to be lifted in Zambia, at which point Ontario will allow KidLink (our Agency) to release referrals. (which we think they have, or are getting in the next week or so).

We are worried, as the 90 day fostering period can only start once we have accepted the referral. Which means we are just getting delayed longer. The agency is hoping to start the foster period ticking while we are waiting, but that’s a big IF. So, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, we need it.
