"The Best Birthday Ever!"

That was Faith's response to the exciting news that I wanted to share with all of you, as well....

OUR DOSSIER LEFT FOR ETHIOPIA TODAY!!!!!!!!

It is headed for the "Ministry of Women's Affairs" and the "Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs." They will review our dossier, add any necessary local paperwork to it and then make a recommendation. There will be a court hearing in which CWAE (Christian World Adoption Ethiopia) will represent us and the boys and we will be made aware of the date of the hearing (Lord willing, sometime in the next 2 months). Once we have approval from the judge (court approval), we will be given an Embassy date (typically 5 weeks later from the initial court date) and that is when we will make plans to head to Ethiopia to finalize everything and to bring home the boys.
I still don't understand everything but that is the general idea of how things work....now, how God may choose to work is another matter :) and we expectantly wait on HIM and trust HIS timing...whether that be shorter or longer than the "norm".
