And then there were 5....

Hi everyone. I am so sorry for not keeping everything up to date. It has been a crazy month and things are really starting to fall into place. We have some very exciting news, but before I get into that I would like to put down key moments into what has lead up to now. Our July 24th court date got moved due to change in policy and a new waiver needed to continue. Our July 31st court date didn't go as planned. His case went to court, but Damien is from Souther Ethiopia and the paper work for his adoption wasn't up to par, so they had to summon his Uncle to come and make everything legitimate. He had to drive over 500 KM to get to the capital Addis Ababa. He made in the night of August 2nd and this morning they went to court and Damien is now officially our son. It has been a very stressful time since courts close next week. This was the last day to get through until the end of September. We are so excited and can't wait to bring home our son. We don't have flight info yet, but I will post it when we do. I can't believe it. I have 3 kids. I am so lucky and the Lord has really blessed my family. Thanks for the prayers and support. WE ARE GOING TO ETHIOPIA!!!

CONGRATS! Our court date was delayed a little too (8/1 to 8/2), and even a bigger relief once it was done!

Best wishes and safe travels!
