In roughly 30 or so hours, we expect to learn whether or not we had a successful court day in Ethiopia and Baby A is officially a part of the family.
It seems as though time has slowed down. As August 5th has grown closer, the minutes stretch on longer and longer. We are gearing up for a long day... and an even longer night.
So if you happen to have any good thoughts you can share, please send some our way, and also to the many other families hoping to make it through the Ethiopian courts to finalize their adoptions before the courts close for the rainy season (on Thursday!).
