Today was our best day in Ethiopia...today is the day we became parents! The last piece of paperwork we had been waiting for arrived at court on Monday and we saw the judge today. It was actually a bit anti-climactic, but after answering a few questions it was still great to hear her say "The contract is approved. They are yours."
Although we had a couple of stressful days, in the end it will be totally worth it. Since we were able to get our MOWYCA letter (which is what has been slowing adoptive families down lately) we will be able to come back and get the boys to bring them home probably in late August or early September instead of in October or November. Our only wait now is for the US Embassy in Ethiopia to schedule an appointment for us to get their passports and visas. God has been so good to us!
Thanks so much for your prayers and support. We will share photos as soon as we get back to a good internet connection and look through the 2,500+ that we've taken!

I am in agreement with Pearl!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! can't wait to hear more about the trip. Isn't it cool how God can use a problem, your court delay, and then use it as a blessing, getting your boys earlier! Love when God does that:)
