An Update

We are still waiting for our court date, and we learned that the Ethiopian courts are currently closed and will remain so for the next 2 weeks. We aren't sure (and no one really is) if this means that they will wait to issue court dates until they reopen or if they will continue issuing the dates even though they are closed. We're praying for the latter- please join us! My birthday is on Thursday, and I can't think of a better gift than a court date to see our babies!


In other news, some of you know that we've recently had some concerns about the way the US Embassy is handling adoptions in Ethiopia. We've heard enough stories and have had great enough concern that we actually sent a letter to our congressman, senators, and the senate foreign relations committee. Please pray that this situation will be cleared up, and that all of the dealings in Ethiopia will be legal and ethical on both the American and Ethiopian side of things.
