head fake gets worse!-- post from June 24th

this is the post we intended to make on June 24th---

Still reeling from the up and down of yesterday's information cycle.  really bummed.  agency says dont worry that the approval is imminent but its hard to make yourself believe it.

to make matters worse-- we were told that a woman form the agency who runs the Ehtiopia program was goign to to Addis.  we had been hoping that this trip would bring some urgnecy to Israel's case.

Today is the day of her departure.  except for she didnt go.  instead she has decieded to take a leave of absence.  of course this new information raises red flags all voer the place.  why is she doing that? are there deeper issues here? who is goign to take over theprimary commnication with CHS in Addis?!  it was already spotty, surely it will be wrose now?

Ally went momma bear ballistic again and tracked down the head of all international adoption programs and repeated our laundry list of complaints. instead of clearing the air it feels more like screaming into a rabbit hole.
