And the wait is over.


December 2nd, 2008

The wait for a referral is officially over. Today we got “the call”. Well, I got the call 10 minutes before I had to go pick my class up from computers. It’s a little boy. He’s 5 weeks old and 6lbs. And he’s unbelievably cute.

Sorry, I can’t post pictures or names until we make it through court but as soon as that happens, there will be pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.

And here’s what happens now. We wait. Again. This time we are waiting for a court date in Ethiopia. The court date will grant us full guardianship of our little guy. Once we pass court we will be issued a birth certificate with our names on it as parents and then we are given a travel date and off we go. This will take 2-4 months. Let’s hope for 2 months.

    I am so thrilled for you guys! Congrat’s again!

    This part of the wait is a bit more purposeful. I still get quite antsy (right now I want to know of our courtdate) but it is a different kind of antsy. Plus, once you learn how to knit, you will have yet another hobby to keep you busy!
