Well, I have been meaning to create a blog for quite a while, instead of emailing out updates for the adoption to those who have asked, and I finally made one. For those of you who know me, this was a big thing for me:) As far as an update, our dossier is currently in Ethiopia right now. I think the courts are closing from Aug. 14-mid September, due to the rainy season. They could close for up to three months, so this would be great if it's only closed 5 weeks! According to our America World group, some couples who had a DTE date (dossier to Ethiopia) the end of March are currently going to court next week. I'm excited for them, and that means we are about 2-3 months away from making our first trip to Ethiopia. If you haven't heard, they have changed the Ethiopian adoption laws, and Dennis and I both have to go for a week when the baby's case goes to court, then leave the baby, and come back 4-12 weeks later to get the baby. God has perfect timing, I know, I just have to keep telling myself that! Thanks to those who have been praying for us!
