The Ethiopian Courts close during the rainy season. It is a date that changes every year within a few days. This year they will officially close Monday August 8th. The courts will reopen sometime between the end of September and the first week of October. No official business can occur during this time. Referrals can still happen and hopefully they will. Also, approval letters from MOWCYA can still be written during this time. We were also given an update from our agency that the slow down in referrals has occurred because the orphanages themselves are taking more time to check into the child's background information. They want to ensure that there are no living relatives that would want to take care of the children. So they are waiting a bit before they send referrals to the agency. All of the changes being made in the program are needed improvements to the system to ensure the best possible outcome for the children.
All in good time!
