We have a court date on Dec. 14th!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be leaving on Sat. Dec. 10th for Addis Abba Ethiopia, however we wont be arriving until Monday morning due to layovers and the 8 hour time difference (fun fun). We are so excited, we cannot wait to meet our little guy! During the 2 days before the court date we will be able to go to the orphanage and meet him, we can spend time there with him but we cannot take him from the orphanage. Wednesday we will go to court which we understand to be like a custody hearing, this will make him officially a Wise :) We leave for the US Fri. at 1am and will be home late Fri. night. Then there is more WAITING......in 6-8 weeks we will fly back to Ethiopia and pick up our little man from the orphanage and bring him home! So we didn't quite make Christmas but we will hopefully have him home for Groundhog's day :) I have a list of the things the orphanage needs if anyone would be interested in making a donation that we can take to them when we travel.
We have also decided on a name(finally) Liam Abreham Wise Liam-unwavering protector and strong willed warrior, Abreham-is his part of his given name now.
LT. Joshua Wise is home from BOLC!! He graduated on Thursday and made it home last night! So great to have him home! We have no idea where we will be going or when we will find out so keep us in your prayers that we will find out soon!
