Have you ever played the game Chutes and Ladders? Our social worker in the US, emailed us recently and said that one her clients had used that game as an illustration for adoption. It is a good illustration.
Today was an emotional chute. We both just wanted to cry. First the embassy emailed explaining the process for adopting an HIV positive child here in Malawi. It could take 3 additional months and there is no guarantee that the waiver will be approved even if we are legal parents of a child. The second is that the social welfare department is not being helpful. We have gotten the run around again and again. I will go tomorrow to talk with them again.
Please pray for favor with the woman in charge of the office in Lilongwe. We plan to travel to Mzuzu on Tuesday July 22 to try to jump start the process with the social welfare department there.
Our attorney is also trying to get in touch with people higher up in the social welfare department to talk about the current options.
We need God to come through in a major way. Please pray. We are holding on to hope but it is hard.

We are thinking of you and praying for His presence to be known to you.
May the Lord continue to hold you in His hands.
Much love,
