Court date scheduled!
We received an e-mail from our country specialist today informing us that our court date is scheduled. July 18. Of course the e-mail included several "disclaimers" about how we may not get through on the 18th or how we may not be notified for a few days. after the 18th But we are, in fact, one little step closer by having this date!!!
What this means is that all of the legal processing of the adoption in Ethiopia will be complete on this day (or at least we can hope). Tamene will officially/legally be our child. Next we wait for the birth certificate to arrive in the US. Once we have it here, we will be scheduled for travel. Ethiopia regularly has power outages, this would be one issue that might prevent us from getting through court. Apparently, the power goes out and people go home. No generator, no worries, just another power outage. Yes, I have asked if we can purchase a generator for them, apparently not.
The main goal is to get through court before the end of the July. Reminder: Courts close in August and September. If we don't get through now, it will be October before his birth certificate is processed. Hoping, praying, wishing, thinking, crossing fingers...
