There are no words to describe our feelings today.

Imagine adoption, the agency we were using for our adoption has declared bankruptcy. We are in utter disbelief as there was absolutely no warning.
I cannot express our grief, other than that we are desperately looking for hope and answers with our local agency.

I am doing all I can and praying that a miracle will happen for us and the children who were supposed to become ours.

It took all day for me to finally sit down and write this note because I am just stunned and sad and can't believe this is happening. I really don't have a lot else that I want to say at the moment other than that our only concern is how we can continue on this adoption journey.

We are just so sad and praying desperately for all those families who have already received their referrals and for all of the children in the transition home in Ethiopia who are in left in limbo.
