She's Ours!!!

Court was ratified this morning, and she is now officially ours!!! We travel mid-July. Will post more specific dates when we get our flight schedule. Unfortunately, I just found out we can't post a picture (or other identifying info) until we sign for physical custody at the orphanage, so you'll have to wait until the end of July for those.

It's been 2 years, 8 months, 1 week, and 1 day since we started our adoption journey.

COULD NOT BE HAPPIER RIGHT NOW!!! :) (Yes, I'm shouting that!)

No baby quite yet. :(

Well, Monday was our court date to make us Baby Sister's legal parents, but due to widespread power outages in Ethiopia, they were unable to get the paperwork they needed from the Ministry of Women's Affairs. Therefore, they were unable to ratify a court decision. Court is postponed for 18 days.

It stinks, but it could be worse. We weren't rejected... it's only 18 days (not a month or more as I thought it could be)... the baby isn't sick...

So, I'll just add a few more things to my To-Do-To-Keep-Myself-Busy List and keep visualizing the judge signing those papers.

Sending positive energy out into the universe...
