Here we Go!!!!

Our bags are packed and our hearts are bursting - we leave on Thursday morning for Ethiopia! We received news on Tues of last week that we had a court date of Monday, Nov 18th. We are more than ready to meet our girl and only wish that she were coming home with us on this trip. After testifying in the Ethiopian courts that we want to move forward with the adoption, we will return home to wait for the US embassy to clear us. Time frames are all but impossible to predict, but seem to be averaging around 8-10 weeks right now. Boo! That won't keep me from praying for a little Christmas miracle- will you join me?! After all, her name means "for you" and she's all I want for Christmas (:
