Yikes! I am so sorry you've had to deal with these stresses in the midst of your first days with your BEAUTIFUL son! You've got some great people on your side, but what's more, you've got Him on your side! Our Lord handled the wind and the waves, blindness and leprosy, Satan and sin and death -- so I'm sure a bureaucratic glitch shouldn't be a problem!<BR/><BR/>God bless you three!!! I hope you can find peace enough to relax and enjoy your time in your son's homeland!

I have talked to the US Embassy, the national visa center, the dept. of state for passport, the US CIS, and the secretary of the Senator for Oregon. All of these people said for you to immediately contact the US Embassy or Consulate in Ethiopia and they will expediate everything. I have also sent you a note on your e-mail about all of this. If you still get a hold of the Denise Lady, she can also be your spokes person from here. <BR/> In the meantime I am still trying to get a hold of America World. If any of the other adopting parents are readig this and could post the phone number for America World here to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. <BR/>I love you, sisterAuntie She-Shehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573543377892394913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576742682434002873.post-53129525826702633512008-06-10T15:51:00.000-07:002008-06-10T15:51:00.000-07:00We're praying for you guys!Love the pics!

I don't think they can access this website in Ethiopia. I may be wrong on that, but I think they had to set up a special email account where they could send their posts in order for it to post here...?? I hope I'm wrong on that. So, anyway, I'm just saying I don't think they can read what you just posted yet. Maybe they've figured out how to do that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576742682434002873.post-4396758345269872252008-06-10T13:58:00.000-07:002008-06-10T13:58:00.000-07:00Okay sister, brother and nephew, I got your phone ...Okay sister, brother and nephew, I got your phone call. I am going to tell you all of this on here because you said your e-mail is not working. Everyone in Rogue River is praying and calling the congressman. Meesma called Pastor Brent and I have talked with Brian. <BR/> I need you to get a message to Denise Racnelli of Senator Gordon Smith's office. In it you need both you and holly's passport #'s, full names, DOB's, baby's name, and the name of the embassy there. Then you need to write a little message granting her permission to pull records and asking for the senators help. Then she can use the senators name to pull strings. You should be able to e-mail from the embassy there if your e-mail is still not working. <BR/>e-mail: denise_racnelli@dsmith.senate.gov<BR/>Fax #: 503-326-2900<BR/><BR/>In the meantime I am looking for the name and phone number of your adoption agency so I can call and light a fire from here. When Aunt Carmen and Uncle Gery were stuck in Haiti, Charity called their agency and they were home by the end of the week (and we all know how much I can be like Charity!!). <BR/><BR/>Paul turn on your phone I am going to try and call you in your morning. Jesus will make this ok.<BR/>Mom and Dad love you and are praying.<BR/><BR/>I Love you, sisterAuntie She-Shehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573543377892394913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576742682434002873.post-1293844232680916492008-06-10T13:35:00.000-07:002008-06-10T13:35:00.000-07:00Praying that things get resolved quickly and you g...Praying that things get resolved quickly and you get home on time!
