Only Three Weeks...

Three weeks from today, we meet B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 16 days I leave for Russia, on June 29 Ababa and I will meet-up in the Frankfurt airport (he'll be coming from NYC) to fly into Ethiopia together and then on June 30 we meet B and July 1 we appear in court.

Please pray that this all goes smoothly.

Three things have to happen before B will legally be our son:

1. His current guardian has to legally relinquish their rights (please pray for peace and safety for them as it is a long journey and a heartwrenching decision!)

2. MOWA needs to write their letter approving our adoption.

3. Ababa and I have to both appear in court in Ethiopia

Then it takes several days for the adoption decree to be written...and then, B will legally be our son and can come live with us in Addis until he is cleared by US Immigration to come to the US and we all will come home together.

Things easily can take longer at each step of the way, and there are many possible complications.

But, as Ababa says, "if God say the same" in about three weeks we meet our son and become a family.
