Off to Ethiopia!

Tomorrow we leave for Ethiopia & are just feeling a mix of emotions right now! Our case was supposed to be submitted to court in the end of January, where we most likely would have gone for our court date sometime in March. Instead, we found out a few weeks ago that our case was not submitted and can not be until an additional document is received that is just now being required. It could take weeks or months to obtain this document. Once again, our spirits crushed. So, we made the decision to go to Ethiopia to meet B now b/c we really don't want to wait that much longer to do so! It is bittersweet. The bitter being we would rather be going for court, as we would then be 1 step closer to bringing her home. The sweet, finally being able to meet her & hold her! We can't wait for this & are so excited! We have been picturing this moment in our heads for the past year, since we were matched with B & received our first picture of her. Now, we will experience it in just a few short days! Hoping they will be able to get this last document quickly so our case can then be submitted to court! Will keep you posted!
