This morning we received two emails from the US Embassy about our case. One, we need another document that will be provided by Zane's orphanage Monday morning. Two, they want to interview Zane's birthmother who lives about 10 hours away. The agency is working to have her here on Monday afternoon; however, embassy says they will not interview her until Sept. 6th. Mark and I are struggling to understand why the United States would want to interview Zane's birthmother after she has been interviewed in this process four times already. Please pray for the US Embassy and the people who work there. Pray they remember that these case numbers represent children's lives, their health, their families, etc. Pray for compassionate people to be present on Monday and agree to interview the birthmom earlier than they told us they would.
We are totally out of control in this situation and frankly, a bit disillusioned by our government institution that should be advocating for us. But God is over governments and we know he is fighting for us in ways we don't even know yet. Please pray for God's deliverance to come quickly!

I am so glad you posted this. I will pray right now.
Thinking about y'all and remembering Proverbs 3:5-6 for you. God's understanding is not our own.
Oh I am so so praying! May the Lord make straight your paths! He will remove the obstacles set before you ... and in the meantime, I pray that you are comforted with his peace, friends to surround you there in Ethiopia and keep you company, that you are reminded of those of us that pray from afar, that you are not forgotten, and that he gives you a little lemonade each day to show you just what reason he has for you there. You are covered!
I'll be praying that things will be faster than you've been told!
