We passed court (for real this time)!

I got a call this morning from our adoption coordinator letting us know that we passed court--and our newest court date wasn't even until tomorrow!  I'm happy and relieved. Now we can move on to waiting for our Embassy date.  It will take about 3 weeks to get the kids' new birth certificates and our adoption decree.  Then there are some other things that needs to happen (our agency does these things)--get H & M's passports, medical appointments, gather additional documents required by Embassy...once all of that is done and the Embassy reviews all of our documents they will either request more information or give us approval to travel to pick up Hawi & Misikir.  I don't have a good guess as to how long all of this will take (it's been taking longer now due to some recent changes in Ethiopia).  I'm hoping to travel by the end of April--and sooner would be an unexpected blessing.

Also, today is Preston's 11th birthday.  What a great day!
