Passed Court

Ok, let's do this again....WE PASSED COURT!!!!! For sure this time! They are collecting the necessary documents now: the adoption decree, birth certificate, passport, and medical info which will take a few days. Once this is collected they can turn our case into the US Embassy where we will get his visa. This is when the 6-8 week wait begins.
Once the US Embassy gives us an appointment we will fly back to Ethiopia and go to the appointment. We should be there for 1 week, during this time we will be Liam's official parents! We will get to pick him up from the transition house and take him back to our hotel. Once we have received Liam's visa we will be able to return to the US!
The plan is still to spend 1 week in Ethiopia and 1 week in KY. We plan to have a welcome home party for Liam so everyone will have a chance to meet him. We will not be traveling around KY at that time due to the stress he will already be under with the huge transition so feel free to come to us :) I will let you know more when we have an appointment.
