The Maoist political party begun a protest today in Kathmandu. 120,000 people are in the protest, and their main goal is to overthrow the government. So far, the protest is peaceful. However, the entire city is at a standstill. The US Embassy has shut down for the moment. There are families in Kathmandu picking up their children, but with the Embassy closed down, they can't get a Visa to bring their child home. This also means the Ministry and Matching Committee are likely closed down for the time being.
Here is a CNN video about it: http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2010/05/03/sidner.nepal.protests.cnn?iref=allsearch.
We really, really, really need your prayers—for us, for the other adoptive parents, and for Nepal. Let's see God do a miracle.
Love,
Heather
