Through Court!!!

E-mail from our country specialist at 10:18 am this morning:

We have received verbal confirmation today that Tamene's case has made it through court in Ethiopia! The written court order and a written letter from the Ministry of Women's Affairs needs to be obtained by our staff in order for your child's birth certificate to be issued and sent to us via e-mail attachment. This process has been taking about 4 weeks. Once we receive and review the birth certificate to confirm that everything is correct, we will forward a copy to you and then you will receive a travel date for 4-8 weeks from the time we receive the birth certificate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Congratulations again! Have a great weekend!

Sorry for posting 12 hours later, but we were celebrating!

We were invited to join another PAC class group gathering tonight (PAC=Pre Adoption Class, or something like that). A friend of mine meets with her group every month and we were able to join them this evening and they shared in our celebration of this milestone.

I will post more detail tomorrow - off to bed for this new momma!
