The court went well today for the biological parent part. We're thankful it went OK today and the next part of court is US! Our court date is set for Tuesday, August 14 and we need to be in-country on Aug. 12th.
All our flights are booked and we leave this Saturday, August 11 out of GR at 3:25 pm. Fly to Detroit, to Amsterdam and then on to Addis where we will be staying. We received our e-tickets today and it shows us landing in Ethiopia at 8:05pm on Sunday. Which is 1:05 pm our time on Sunday. Lots of traveling ahead, but I think we're set! Between all the snacks, movies and ambien, we should be great!
We also got our confirmation to be staying at the Morning Coffee Guesthouse! It just sounds good, doesn't it! We know many people who have stayed here and the manager, Birtukan, is a compassionate, motherly and a beautiful person inside and out. I'm anxious to meet her in person and be part of her mission. We are very thankful to get the opportunity to stay with her during our time in Addis.
God's timing is always perfect! So many miracles you've witnessed in such a short period of time, and so many more you will be able to experience in the next couple weeks! I'm so thrilled for you all. Can't wait to hear all your stories of Ethiopia~! Have a wonderful time. It won't be long until the second visit to bring your little girl HOME.....
