I have posted before that our agency has a hotline that we can call and get basic program updates. Well I just called and here is what I learned.
1) Expected wait for referral is still approximately 12 months
2)The wait between referral and travel appears to still be 12-16 weeks
3) There are children at the Addis Ababa care center waiting for medical evaluation before being ready for referral.
4) Additional paperwork is being required from the local court (Kebele) in relinquishment cases where there is 1 or 2 living birth parents. CHSFS has being getting this paperwork for awhile so it shouldn't effect timelines too much.
While, I didn't learn anything earth shattering I thought I would share the latest. Please continue to keep single moms in your prayers. There are lots of rumors flying around right now that we are all awaiting verification on. My heart goes out to these women as if the rumors are true their wait times could increase significantly.
