Our court date is fast approaching and we are hopeful that we will get through on our first try. It seems that families are getting through faster now than they were after the courts reopened in September. We have made some tentative plans for travel based on our Feb 5th court date. We wanted to travel on the 17th of March, but the Thursday of that week, the 20th is a holiday and the embassy will be closed. So we will likely travel on the 10th of March or maybe the 27th of March. It all depends on the 5th of Feb!!! Keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers!!
We received an email today from Rhonda Fox, the mother that traveled last week to get her little boy, Efrem. I have a couple pictures of Efrem on the blog with Kidus from a couple of months back. Rhonda told me that Kidus is so sweet!! His laugh is to die for and her girls fell in love with him. She said it was very sad when they left, because Efrem gave Kidus a hug and Kidus cried and cried. She did not think that Efrem really understood what was going on. She also told me that Kidus does not look or act like he is 5 years old. She thinks that he is closer to 3 or 4. Efrem is 31/2 and Rhonda beleives that Kidus is his age. I have thought that before in some of the photos that we received.
She also said that she had met Natinael. He is also a sweetheart!!! She did not get to spend much time with him because the older kids were in school most of the day. She had met him before when she traveled there. Can you imagine the families that Natie has seen come and go and always the one left behind? Not this time!! We are coming soon to get you Natinael!
We are so excited and can't wait to get our boys home. We seem to have everything ready and just need to concentrate on travel plans and packing all the right things.
The office staff is having a "baby shower" or "kid shower" for us tomorrow night. Mainly just to get together and celebrate life as we know it right now. Because it will never be the same!!
Thank you all for your support, love and prayers.
