Things don't look good. The latest news is that all but one minister signed off on the new law - effectively preventing overseas adoptions. The law goes in front of the Prime Minister now. The new law requires that all adoptions be approved by the Attorney General's office. Unfortunately the Attorney General in Samoa is vehemently against Samoan children being adopted by "strangers".

While I understand the sentiment, my heart aches for these poor children who are already in foster care because their families cannot afford to support them. How I wish we had been able to bring the boys home before this all snowballed. :(
