Today another milestone in our adoption journey was reached -- we have our court date!! Our scheduled date is February 10th. This is sooner than we anticipated :)
The purpose of court is for an Ethiopian judge to verify everything regarding the adoption process -- paperwork, reasons for adoption, our qualifications to be adoptive parents, ethics, etc. etc. If all the criteria are met and the judge is satisfied, then we are declared the legal parents of these two brothers!!
However, we keep reminding ourselves that lots of things can hinder the court's verdict, everything from bad weather to incorrect paperwork. So we are praying for a smooth process ... and that we "pass" court on the first round.
Once we pass court, we are expecting to travel to pick them up within 4-6 weeks. This means that if everything goes "smoothly" we could the boys home by the end of March!!
Thanks so much for the continued prayers and encouragement!
