Cursed?

Remember a few months back when I asked if the third time would be a charm for us in this next adoption? Well.........it's not. We learned last week that Ethiopia is changing their rules for international adoption and now families have to make 2, yes that's right, 2 trips to Ethiopia to finalize their adoption. So, not only do we have to find thousands of more dollars, but these sweeping changes make me nervous. Yes, I completely understand why they have made this decision, but it still is very worrying to me. I am a HUGE advocate for adoption, but this is really testing me. Anyone out there want to go to Ethiopia with me????????
