So what is the next step?
Although we are now just in the waiting stage, it is wonderful to know that everything we need to do is out of our hands!! I really didn't believe we would send our dossier over this soon... but it is there..... so now we wait. The court in Addis Ababa closes from August 6 - September 26 due to the heavy rains (rainy season). This can cause things to slow back up a little. This is definitely subject to change, but we think we should get a match around December. Four - Six weeks later we should get a court date and make our first trip over to Ethiopia. We will be in Addis Ababa for about a week. During that time we will testify in court that we want our little boy AND we will be able to meet him and spend time with him!! But then we have to go home....approximately 6-8 weeks after our court date we will take another trip to Ethiopia to pick up our little hun-nee!! It is a strange balance of keeping our hearts guarded and trying to imagine life with our Ethiopian hun-nee... (mmm i like that!)
