More waiting on pins and needles

So, here we are overcome with joy that we got to meet our daughter.....however we are once again waiting for word on the process.  The next step is that the Ministry of Womens and Childrens Affairs in Ethiopia will approve our adoption and then everything will be submitted to the court there for finalization.  That's a very exciting step!  There's only one worry.....the courts close tomorrow until the beginning of October for the rainy season!  That means that if the MOWA opinion doesn't go to the court in the next 24 hours our wait for our US Embassy appointment will become much longer, and then our wait to bring our little pricess home will become much longer.  So, here we are waiting once again.....our last four years have been filled with waiting!  This time the waiting is much different because there are memories of giggles and hugs and kisses involved.  This waiting will require constant prayer to make it through.

  3. Talking to my sister-in-law. Her friend is in the Ethiopian adoption process as well. Her son is on o2 and they have been fighting the system r/t his health. He is from same town in Ethiopia. Her name is Becca and her sister, a family doc, is there with them to fight the medical system. Crazy! We are praying for your family and hers. Love to all.
