Passed Court!

We are excited to announce we passed court on January 1st. Here is what Bethany is telling us will be done now...

The next step for this family is to again….wait. Our staff in Ethiopia now
will work to get a new birth certificate (5 days minimum), passport (5 days
minimum) and other required medical tests, vaccinations, etc. Once these
documents are all in order, an application is made to the U.S. Embassy for
an appointment on the family’s behalf. A response from the Embassy for an
appointment takes a minimum of 14 days. Thus, your family can expect to
hear from us about their Embassy date (and an invitation to travel) in the
next 1-2 months. Family’s typically get 2 weeks notice of their Embassy
appointment (although there is no guarantee and notice times may be shorter
or longer).

Thanks for all your prayers. We will be first getting our donations together along with our gifts. It is a busy and fun time!
