Nepali Prime Minister Resigns

Click here for the news from Nepal.

The Prime Minister of Nepal has resigned. We have no idea how / if this will affect the adoption process, the families, or most importantly - the children. At this point our agency is warning of a delay - but we don't know how long or short.


While I want to feel sad for us about the (potentially) longer wait for our child, I have decided to instead send my prayers and compassion to the orphans in Nepal who may now have to wait longer for a home, family, food and shelter. And - who knows - maybe somehow things will be better in the long-term due to changes that are happening now? We just don't know what we don't know.

"If we think of ourselves as very precious and absolute, our whole mental focus becomes very narrow and limited and even minor problems can seem unbearable... If we switch our mental attitude from concern for our own welfare to that of others, our mind automatically widens and our own problems appear much less important and easier to face." ~the Dalai Lama

Namaste.
