No resolution in sight.....

Sadly, the news we've gotten lately about our adoption is not very encouraging.   The Liberian government has yet to pass new legislation regulating the care and adoption of its thousands and thousands of orphans.    There is no recent movement in the Liberian house or senate....and no bills on the floor for passage.   Adoptions remain closed in Liberia as they have been since January.  

Even though a Liberian judge signed a court degree that named me and Drew Amos's and Kalee's legal parents last September, we can't take custody of them and bring them home until those new laws are passed.  

Our adoption agency, unable to process adoptions to generate fees,  is out of money and can not meet payroll for the staff at the orphanage.   I'm not sure what the conditions are like there now or how-- or to what extent--- the 50 children there are being fed.   

I just know that Amos and Kalee need to come home to me and Drew......and to our houseful of boys and love......to our pantry full of food.....to clean drinking water......new clothes and beds.....and to the bins of Matchbox cars and soccer balls waiting just for them.
