Tonight we read a post on a Rwandan adoption Yahoo group that may affect us. It said a family heard from their agency that the Rwandan ministry responsible for adoptions will be issuing families who have not yet received referrals a “6 month regret letter” stating that if the family has not been matched with a child within 6 months, the dossier will be closed. We don’t know the accuracy of this statement, and have emailed our lawyer to see what he knows. But it has made us a bit anxious. Will you please pray with us about our adoption? Please ask that we will get to bring home two Rwandan daughters, that God’s mighty hand would continue to be seen through this process, and that we would exemplify Christ through whatever comes. Thanks!
I am praying that the 2 little Rwandan girls God has planned for you will join your wonderful family and He will be glorified through the process.
Lots of love,
Donna
Praying for you! We know all about potential upsets as we are in the middle of all that is going on in Ethiopia.
We are praying for you and the girls.
My prayers are with you all and as everyone knows, those girls are better off with you than anywhere! They are looking forward to playing with their brothers and calling you Mommy and Daddy. Love you!
Praying for you all!
Prayed for you guys on and off all day long. I am anxious for an update. I know how stressful this is.. and I am sorry. Things were so much easier two years ago weren’t they?
Hi my name is Karen Latta and our family is also waiting for our referral from Rwanda and I wanted to let you know that we received notice from our agency, CAN-Children of All Nations, to expect the 6 month regret letter if not matched. If no match is found (we were told not likely bc of our age request) Rwanda will close the file on all dossiers and on all future adoptions. I found your post as I was trolling the internet in hopes of finding out more information. We are devastated not only for our own situation but for those other families that have had to endure the wait, chase down the paperwork and spend the dollars necessary to make the dream of an expanded family a reality (btw we started 6 years ago with China and 2 years ago with Rwanda). I will pray for your family in hopes of a speedy match. I hope to see you in Rwanda!
Have you heard anything yet?
Just catching up on your adoption process…. have you heard anything?
I keep checking back in to see if there have been updates on your adoption. I’m hopeful all is well.
