Ethiopian Courts Reopen today!
The Ethiopian courts will reopen today after being closed for 7 weeks (for rainy season). There are over 45 children that have been referred out to forever families and they are waiting for court dates. We are praying all these families pass court on their 1st try!!! We are thinking that once these children all pass court and then US embassy clearance, there will be many new children in the Transition Home and hopefully one or two of those children will be ours!! We are currently 11 for a boy, 14 for a girl, and 8 for siblings.

Two Months DTE!!
Today marks 2 months since we were DTE!!!! We are two months closer to our child(ren)!!!
I can't believe its our midterm for 1st quarter at school already. We have both been so busy with school and coaching. But the referral world hasn't been that busy. The courts have been closed in Ethiopia since the beginning of August and won't reopen until the end of this month. This means there are several AWAA families that have received a referral but are waiting for the courts to reopen so they can receive their court date. We heard that there won't be too many referrals for the next month or so because the Transition House is full of children waiting for their forever families to be able to come and bring them home. But there were 2 referrals for baby girls this week. Our unofficial updated numbers are 15 for a boy and 14 for a girl and 6 for siblings. Hopefully after the courts reopen the referrals will pour out and we will move up on the list!!!
