More bad news

Ok so we are just taking a hit this week. We thought for sure we would get through court this week but that is not how its going to happen. Apparently Abel is Oromo which is an ethnic group insde Ethiopia. He also comes from the Arsi tribe so the review that was needed for us to pass is wanting more info from the region he was abandoned at. So this is certainly a solvable problem just taking more time. Our lawyer Aderajew must travel to this region for the paper. He will go on Monday and it will take a whole day of driving to get there (approximatly 250 km) . He cannot drive at night since from what I understand it is not safe to drive at night there. The infrastructure is nothing like we have here in USA. think dirt roads, wildlife in the middle of the road as well as broken down abandoned vehicles, add that to no street lighting and you see why. He will do business all day Tues getting our paper we need, then spend all day Wed comming back to Addis from this region. We are praying for safe and an expedient journey for him as well.

We are praying for this to all lead to little Abel being a Sereika by the end of next week. Sending you guys positive thoughts.
