We Passed!!!!!!!

We passed!!!!! Did you hear me exhale??? What a relief!!

We leave for Ethiopia next Friday, July 23rd!! Amazing!! And we'll meet our boy for the first time on Monday the 26th. The countdown has begun. I CANNOT wait!!

Our federal court date in Ethiopia is July 28th and that will be the final step in making everything that we already feel in our hearts officially legal on paper. That is when I can show you his precious face!!! We are so close.

I have to say thank you again to all of you. All of your prayers, positive thoughts and encouraging words have meant so much to us. We love you!!!

    Hi Busters,
    I am Tamara's mother (who is in Ethiopia at this moment with her hubby Kai). She has told me of many cases and I remember your name. So happy you have passed and will have your baby (boy I believe) in your arms so soon. Take care and my prayers and best thoughts are with you and all the other parents to be.
