It happened, it really happened!!!!!


Someone must have known I would be singing the blues (see previous post) today because it actually happened! I just received an email from our social worker at our agency that our case made it through court today in Ethiopia (it was actually yesterday in Ethiopia at this point). But regardless, this handsome darling Biruk Bekele is officially our little guy!! We are thrilled beyond words. It was such a great feeling reading the email and I was swept over with a wave of emotions. I love this guy more and more every day and I can't wait to hold him in my arms!!

What's next? We have to wait on a new birth certificate which should arrive in the next 3 weeks and then after receiving that we will be given a travel date (2-3 weeks from there). So currently we have an estimated travel date 6 weeks from now!! Woohooooooooooooooooo.....

  14. Yayyyyyy!!!!!!!!! I was just about to email you to wish you good luck in court and thought I'd check the blog first just in case there was good news. Lo and behold! Little Man #2 popped up on my screen and I almost peed myself. TMI? Maybe so, but that's what happened.

    Congrats guys!! That is just the coolest thing ever. Now I am even more stoked to meet up with you guys in the next couple of months. We'll be in touch...
