Every bit of news good or bad or unexpected is at least news. We received word today from our agency that it is now a requirement to travel to Ethiopia. We had originally thought we would have the children escorted. That bit of news was a little unexpected, but we are actually very excited about traveling to the birth country of our new children. We would like to take the girls with us if there scholl schedule will allow. Of course, Erica would love to go as well, so we will see what we can afford to do. Plane tickets will range anywhere from $600 to $1200. I think it will be invaluable lesson and a piece of our children's lives that we will carry with us forever!! Hopefully before the end of the year!!!
