Update on the Big Kids....

Kind of. So far all we know for sure is that they gave them another 10 days of staying at the transition center in Addis. This is good, because they've been there for a year, and I would hate for them to be uprooted again needlessly. Other than that, the new isn't great.
Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words, support, and ideas. I've talked with our agency about all of the ideas everyone has had, and they said because of the situation and the region that our kids are from, these aren't possible. Everything comes down to a relative (who really hasn't ever been a part of the kids' lives but still has all of their rights). This person has been informed of the situation, but ethically can't be pressured into signing papers. They just need to decide if they want the kids with them (which would be fine) or want the kids to come to us (which we would love).... or just do nothing (in which case the kids will grow up in an orphanage). So far they are choosing the third option, and there is nothing anyone can do about it and still remain ethical. I just wish there was some way we could fight for them. We have so much fight and nothing we can do with it. All we can do is keep hoping. And keep loving them. And wait.
