Ethiopia

Hi,
On Tuesday May 12 my paper work including medicals were complete and sent to the Ethiopian Courts. I should hear about my court date in two weeks, well from this post 8 days.
I am thinking my court date will be for the end of June. The court takes place with me here in the US and a CWA-Ethiopian staff member at the court hearing, if I pass court I will travel 5 weeks later to pick up my baby girl. Many families do not pass court the first time, this is very normal however with court closure coming soon please keep us in your prayers that I will pass.

My daughter is approximatly 2 months old now... Oh I just can't wait to bring her home..
Her room is ready... It was ready before Jack came home back in Oct..LOL..
