Love this girl! She asks me to come see her baby-dolls that she set up. Then, I notice one with a toy hand gun! I removed it and she quickly put it back and said she was going bird hunting! She's a girly-girl with a big splash of tom-boy!
We are at the wonderful part in the adoption journey called WAITING. Things are in process and there's really nothing new to report. We are in the part of the process when the US Embassy reviews our girls cases and basically makes sure everything about these adoptions are ethical. Love working with Bethany Christian Services for this fact! They have a great reputation with the Ethiopian government and make sure things are done properly and with the best interest of the children.
The absolute most asked question is: "When will you bring them home?" Well, I wish we knew! We are told the process we are in is typically between 2 1/2 months to 4 months to complete. Then, the parent/guardian court date a month from that, then our court date. We will make 2 trips to Africa, just like for Kyah's adoption. The 2nd trip should come quicker (less time in between the trips) due to the US Embassy reviewing the cases now, rather than in between the 2 trips. I really don't like to put a time-frame on this since things in the adoption world change constantly. God willing, there will be no hold-ups with paperwork, parent/guardian reviews, or more government slow-downs and we can get those cuties home! |
Love the picture. What a country girl you have there :)
