WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!!!!!!

WEDNESDAY, MAY 12th!!!!!!!!!!!

Somehow, amazingly, our court date has been scheduled for next week! By next Wednesday, Wyatt and Noah could, finally, legally, have two sisters.

Now, given the fact that we actually have two cases that will be heard, there are a number of possibilities that actually could occur: both cases could pass on the first try and yippee, we're parents again and waiting for the court decree and embassy date to be scheduled (when we travel); OR, one case could pass and one fails (likely due to missing paperwork) which would mean that the failed case would be rescheduled and the other would proceed to issuing court decree and scheduling embassy date (logistically, we'll figure out how to cross that bridge if we get to it); thirdly, both cases could fail and then we just have to wait for the second court date (where all the above options can occur again). So, we are definitely not out of the woods yet, but at least we are moving FORWARD!!!!!! (-:

Once we pass court (hopefully next week!!!), we must wait for them to provide a court decree, which can sometimes take up to two weeks, and then the embassy date will be scheduled (usually 6-8 weeks after successful court). We will travel to Ethiopia for the Embassy date, and then bring our girls home to start a new roller coaster ride!!! So, if everything is successful on the first try, and the Embassy does not throw us any curve balls by aging T older than 10, we could possibly be traveling to get the girls by the end of June or early July. Most likely it will not be that soon, but you never know! The one thing these past two years have taught us: expect the unexpected! :0)

If you want to throw a prayer or two our way next Tues/Weds, we'll take all you can give! (-:

Thanks for your support and stay tuned! :0)
