No news yet

We don't have any new adoption news to report yet.  Right now we're still waiting for Hawi & Misikir's birth certificates & adoption decree (which should be here any day now).  Once the birth certificates come in our agency can apply for their passports.  I was told that it usually only takes a couple of days to receive passports.  Once we have those things our case can be submitted to the US Embassy on the following Wednesday (cases can only be submitted on Wednesdays).  The US Embassy takes about 72 business hours to either let you know you can pick a date to come get your children, or they let you know that your file is incomplete and they still need additional paperwork (which could prolong bringing your kids home by a couple days or all the way up to a couple months).  Lately about 90% of the cases are coming back as incomplete/requiring additional information.  So, I'm not sure how quickly things will go for us, but we're still praying that we'll be able to go get them this March.  If not in March, then hopefully April.
