The Paper Chase is Over!!!



We got this email today:

Dear Ababa and Mama,

Your dossier is on it's way to Ethiopia right now!





So...now we wait...and pray...and wait some more...and pray somemore...

Our agency said that it will take about 4 weeks for our dossier to be translated, combined with B's paperwork, and submitted to court, and another month to get assigned a court date...and that assumes that the "slowdown" doesn't really go into effect...

So, we will try to stay busy until mid-June before we get antsy for a court date. (In reality, I think we'll be doing really well if we stay chill until Memorial Day...)

We are still praying for a court date in June, July, or early August...pretty much anytime before the court closure!

In the meantime, we are going about life as usual...registering for classes for the summer semesters, finishing projects around the house, work stuff, church stuff, trying to visit family and friends, and waiting for the imminent arrival of our little niece or nephew any day now...

Oh, and I bought two really cute things for B's room today:-) The name decal has the initial in white and his name (both his American and Ethiopian first name) in grey.  The animal decal is the same grey.  The walls in his room are a lime green that Ababa picked out:-)  Sometime in the next 8 weeks we'll get B's room done and post some pics...
