BEFORE YOU WERE BORN,
We Dreamed of you, We Imagined you, We Prayed for you.

NOW THAT YOU ARE HERE,
We Hope for you, We Love you, We Thank God for you.

Same Old Same Old

We recently got a brief update from CHSFS about the happenings in Ecuador.
  • Quito Committee met on 2/11 but did not make any referrals.
  • None of the 3 regional committees have made referrals in 2011, including for Ecuador nationals (domestic adoptions)
  • Most offices in Ecuador will be closed March 5-10 for Carnival
  • Government offices in Ecuador will be closed April 22 and 23 for Semana Santa or Holy Week
  • The CHSFS in-country representative is requesting a meeting of all the committees (but I won't be holding my breath for that).

It's the same thing almost every month-Why the committees did not meet, etc. etc. My frustration goes far beyond just waiting for our referral. I think about all those children who could be placed in their forever families but they have to wait because a group of people can't get their acts together, do what they have to do, and start putting these children's first.
