Great news tonight!!! Mebrate and I officially have a court date of May 10th- three weeks away! What a great day that will be when we pass court and I have my first baby shower at work! I am so excited and nervous, please send positive thoughts our way for passing on the first round!
On another great note, it appears that I will also be getting an updated assessment and photos sometime in the next two weeks. When Mebrate is moved from Awassa to Addis, the social worker will do a complete new assessment and send it my direction. After getting some concerning news of Mebrate spending the night in the hospital last weekend due to a stomach flu, I am ready to get more information, see new photos and see how she is doing.
