Well it is official.This is what was said on the State Department Web sight.

Notice: The Hague Adoption Convention Enters into Force for Rwanda

On July 1, 2012 the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-Operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Convention) entered into force for Rwanda. However, the Government of Rwanda has notified the U.S. Embassy in Kigali that the current suspension on intercountry adoptions will remain in effect until the country has a fully functional Convention process in place. The Government of Rwanda believes implementation will take several months.

We caution adoption service providers and prospective adoptive parents that important steps to ensure intercountry adoptions from Rwanda comply with the Convention must take place before intercountry adoptions between the United States and Rwanda resume. Adoption service providers should neither initiate nor claim to initiate adoption programs in Rwanda until the Department of State notifies them that the Government of Rwanda has lifted its suspension on intercountry adoptions and that Rwanda’s procedures meet the requirements of the Convention.

The Department of State will provide updated information on adoption.state.gov as it becomes available. If you have any questions about this notice, please contact the Office of Children’s Issues at 1-888-407-4747 within the United States, or 202-501-4444 from outside the United States. Email inquiries may be directed to AdoptionUSCA@state.gov.

So what all this mumbo jumbo means is that Rwanda has officially stoped processing adoption paperwork.  So after 2.5 years it is done.  This is not the way I have expected to end this blog, but at least all the waiting is over.  So now we start the process of withdrawing from the program, saying good by, and moving on. 

As I look back I can still say with confidence that God is Good, and he works all thing out for His Glory and Honor.  So many good things have come to us and through us over the past 2.5 years and I am so thankful for them.  I have definitely prayed harder and grown closer to the Lord than I ever have before in my life. 

So thank you for following us through this journey
