Court Dates!

Natalie from our adoption agency called us today to tell us we already have court dates for the next court season, after the rainy season closures.

Our first date is October 4th (Chris's birthday!); we don't appear for this one. The ministry of the Ethiopian goverment that oversees adoptions will issue an opinion or request more information, and L's family member must appear to relinquish rights.

If all goes well, our court date in which we will appear to legally become L's parents is scheduled for October 14th. We will have to be in Addis on the 10th and leave on the 17th (my birthday is the 11th!). There is still a chance this second trip could be delayed. But I'm so excited to have a concrete date to look forward to!!!!

If you're a family traveling the same week, e-mail me! DMichelC at aol dot com.

P.S. Once we pass court, we will travel 2-6 weeks later to bring L home.
