Well its been about 22 months since we submitted our paper work and officially were placed on the waiting list for our adoption. We are exited to announce to everyone that we are now officially parents! We got word from our adoption agency yesterday that we had "passed court". This means that we are the legal guardians of Habtamu and Debritu. Because we are their parents I'm very happy to include this picture of OUR children and my beautiful bride. There really isn't anything more to add other to say that we are elated and relieved to be through this part. For anyone reading this who hasn't been keeping score, this basically means that we will be told soon (next couple of days) when we are expected to be at the US embassy in Addis Ababa to receive the necessary US immigration paperwork so we can take them home. So, I can not yet say when we will be home with the kiddos, but probably in early May. I'll post more as I get more information. Thank you everyone for your continued support.
