Adoption agreement and first installment of the agency fee = mailed


We signed a bunch of contracts last night, including the adoption agreement for AWAA, and mailed it along with our first installment of the agency fee.

Now we need to complete the online Hague adoption orientation course, and wait to be contacted by the social worker who will do our home study.

Good-ish news concerning possible changes or slowdowns to the Ethiopian adoption process - Our adoption agency has posted the following update on their blog:
"America World has received confirmation of significant personnel changes within MOWA. These changes have resulted in overall staff turnover and changes within the adoption unit. The unit is now called the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs (MOWCYA). We are hopeful that the new leadership will not only support processing an adequate number of favorable recommendation letters, but also continue to implement policies that will best serve the children of Ethiopia. (...) We have continued to receive optimistic feedback and have seen how the Ethiopian government is very committed to adoption."
