So my paperwork has been submitted and all I do now again is wait! I am now waiting to hear whether or not I will travel twice before bringing Mebrate home! The Ethiopian government is now requiring all families to represent themselves at the official court hearing. We have been told, they are doing so because families have decided on their final pick up visit that the child they have been matched up with or are adopting, are not what they want. How you say??? I really have no idea!!!
So many of the US agencies are asking the Ethiopian government to hold off until their summer holiday. Let the current referrals through on one round of travel and then switch. We shall see, I have come to the realization that I really don't care as long as it brings me closer to meeting my daughter! The part that will kill me, is handing her back to the Nannies and returning to the US without her!
I keep telling myself how lucky I have been so far during my journey... that this is just one more step!
Mebrate was 12 weeks old on Wednesday! I am already impatient for updated photos and information, but I know I have to wait!
