So close

Hello,
We have had an emotional few days. On Thursday we got a call from our adoption agency. They wanted to let us know that we could possibly be going to get our new son. We would have had to leave on Friday morning. Well, we got all packed and ready to go. Friday morning we got a call that we weren't going to be able to go. We went from happy and nervous, to sad and grumpy. We are trying to stay positive and we are hopeful that we will get to leave on January 27th for an Embassy appointment on February 1st. I can't think about waiting any longer than that. We are just taking it one day at a time.

We are still looking for a middle name that starts with R. Let us know if you have any suggestions.

Good news!!!

Well, we now have a birth certificate for our little guy with Duane and I listed as parents. We also got his passport. There must be some special process for taking passport photos that make you look weird. Our case has been submitted US embassy in Ethiopia, so we are just waiting to get an appointment to pick up his Visa. We will have an appointment on January 18th, February 1st, February 15th, or March 1st. We may have a few weeks notice, or just a day or two of notice. They told me that we should just get packed and stay ready to go.

Thanks to all who have been praying for us. It seems to be working, so keep it up:o)

Waiting some more

Well, we got some news about our embassy appointment, and it wasn't good. The US Embassy in Ethiopia has slowed down the process of getting Visas for adopted children. We have a conference call with our agency tomorrow and are hoping to get some better news. We were hopeful that we would get an Embassy date in January, but that seems really inlikely at this point. Please pray that we get good news tomorrow!!!!
