I took these photos as we drove to show you that this last week of rain has already started to have an effect although only very slight. I do hope the countryside is transformed into the lovely green that I am now used to seeing through winter. We have had enough of the brown for now.
Back to the training. It was a very interesting day but had a very low end. We finished off by the social workers talking about each different country. There are only a limited number of countries that New Zealand is able to adopt from.

So although it is wonderful to know that there are not that many orphans needing international adoption in most of the countries - it was also a sad reality for most of us at the training - realizing that this is in actual fact not as big a need as we thought it was.
At least we know we have looked thoroughly into the different options available and will continue to pray that the Lord directs us through this whole process.
It is terribly sad for me to think of the thousands of orphans in South Africa that need homes. Unfortunately SA is not a part of the Hague Convention and so it's not an option through NZ Courts.
