COURT DATE - YAY!

By some miracle, we have a court date of February 11, 2011!!!  We (and our agency) had been expecting a date in mid March, so this came as a complete surprise.

Seven weeks from today, we will meet our children for the first time.  Seven weeks from tomorrow (Christmas Eve), the future of our family will be determined by the Ethiopian court.  I'm both terrified and so very excited!  We're coming kids!!

  6. Yay. Congratulations. Thanks for letting us know. I checked your blog yesterday and thought you had not gotten a court date. What a fantastic Christmas gift for you and your family. 49 days does not sound that far away. I will pray that court goes very well.
