At least one more week...

No Patience

My patience is gone, evaporated long ago. We still haven't made it through due to ongoing electricity issues. I haven't heard about today yet, so perhaps there is good news on the horizon, but it didn't sound likely. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the weekend. AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Not yet...

Due to electricity issues, we did not make it through court today.

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Next date is Thursday. Here's hoping!

FINALLY!!!!

We FINALLY got our court date today! After 11 weeks of waiting for a date, we now are scheduled to have our first, and hopefully last, court date on May 26! Yippeeeeeeee! While we hope, hope, hope that we will pass through court the first time, it is very frequent for court to be delayed, rescheduled, or for there to be last minute documents that need to be located. Please everyone focus your energy our way on that day (or actually the day before...) and let's hope that we make it through right away! Thanks to all of you for your support during what has been an incredibly stressful time!

Here is a pic from Evan's bday party this weekend.

The New Plan

Well, we're still waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Our case was to be submitted for a date yesterday, but yesterday turned out to be a holiday, as is Monday, so Tuesday will be the absolute earliest that we could hear. It would be nice to hear Tuesday, but we're not counting on it, just because that's not how things are going for us so far!

BUT, we have decided that if/when we finally get to court and have a positive outcome that we will travel immediately to pick up our little Zoe (hopefully still little when we get there!). We'll be spending 3-4 weeks in Ethiopia now, instead of one. We still have to wait for all the documents needed for the embassy appointment and visas, but we can get to her sooner and start to bond with her during our longer stay in country.

We're hoping, hoping, hoping that we'll pass court by the end of May and be on a plane a few days later. More next week!
