Good News - Not the BEST news - But Still Good!

It’s been a fabulous day today. I woke this morning with positive vibes (a rarity for me). I knew it was going to be a great day – and it has been! I received two great news bits from our Agency. First , dun, dun, dun…. Our first (MOWA) court date is scheduled for November 1st. What does that mean? Well, it means that the day before Amanuel’s first birthday, the Ministry of Woman’s Affairs will be attending court in Ethiopia and approving (hopefully) our adoption. A week or two after that, we will know our court date. So happy things are moving along – not so happy about the pace at which they are…. However, we do know that our file is being actively worked on and that no one has forgotten about us and we will be travelling very, very soon! And….For a couple of weeks now, we have been very worried about the risk of Amanuel contracting TB and not being there to nurture him if sick. WE found out today that all the kids have been tested and Amanuel is clear (for now). The weight of the world feels off our shoulders today. I spent the weekend packing and shopping with my dad. It was great. So now we have to make it through a couple more weeks and we will know. Getting REALLY excited. Love to you all, Annie
