Well, we got word that courts are going to reopen on Oct. 12th. A few weeks later than we thought... Usually a few days before they open they start scheduling court dates. We did get our travel email last week, which is more paperwork, a sample itinerary, what to pack, etc. That was exciting!
My friend Debelle, my friend who works for LIA in Ethiopia, went to the transition home and visited Baby M for us yesterday. I can't tell you how happy it made me to just have someone I know visit her and pray over her:) I'm so lucky to have friends there! He also got a few pics of Baby M and her nanny:) There were a few of the nanny trying to unattach herself, and finally have a few of Baby M in a chair by herself:) Holly, my friend who was our American LIA guide on our missions trip, is going soon to visit her soon also, she has a different job now, but she's in Addis now. I can't wait. It just makes it seem so much more real when my two worlds come together in any way! Our care package still hasn't made it there. My poor friend Sherri, who was bringing it, has again been delayed picking up their boys and clearing Embassy. The US Embassy is requiring an interview with the birth mom, which isn't until next week. Please pray they will clear them and let them bring them home soon!
I think that's all the updates I have for now. Please continue to pray for a quick court date for us, that we pass court while we're there, and that we are submitted to and pass Embassy quickly (and in quickly I mean I hope we have her home for Christmas:) What a gift that would be!!!
