Well, we might be seeing as our agency just called today to say our paperwork will be ready in time for the June 9th Embassy date so if we want, we can travel to pick up our girls then!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
As I told some friends dealing with the same issue: Are we ready? No way. Are we going to be ready? No way. Are we going to try to make the June 9th travel date? YOU BET!!!!
We have waited two years for this moment and those two years have taught us to not waste a single moment. If we can get the girls earlier, then we need to because who knows what might happen in three or four weeks! There is a reason we were provided with this opportunity and although all my hair will likely turn straight due to the stress, WE ARE THERE!
Of course, there is one possible barrier and that is the fact the the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia does not have our 171H, or approval to adopt, paperwork. Without this they will not issue our girls visas to come to the U.S. It was sent, they just did not receive it. So, the National Visa Center is in the process of re-sending it now and it should be in ET by the end of the week. If this does not happen before we need to travel, then we will have to delay travel until the June 23rd original Embassy date.
You know, there's always something! (0:
We did find out that the girls were moved from Mekele to Addis Ababa yesterday (they had their first airplane flight!). So, they have now left the place that they have lived for almost a year and have had another big change in their short little lives...but, that means we are getting closer!
Anyways, stay tuned because who knows what will happen tomorrow!!!
Tsegereda and Rodas, we'll be there before you know it!
