TRAVELING!!! (MAYBE)

Oh my! Oh my!!!!!
We just heard from one of the case managers today and she told us we are one of the confirmed travelers for the Jan. 11 embassy date. We were told it was possible but highly unlikely so we were planning on leaving the 22nd. So we were really surprised to get this news and EXTREMELY EXCITED!!!
But.......we are still waiting for our FDL-which we can't even buy our plane tickets until we have that. SIGH!!
But.....we did get an update on our little Addis. It is amazing how much she has grown since coming to HH. She is now up to 24lbs!! And her health is much better-she passed her TB tests, which is a huge answer to prayer.
We can't believe in a little less than 3 weeks we can actually be in Ethiopia holding our little angel.
Yeah!! Yeah!! Yeah!!!

  2. I wonder if I met your Addis when we were there last week. My husband and I spent some time in the toddler/preschool room playing one afternoon. :)

  3. This is so thrilling, congrats. I can't wait til we are in this leg of the process.

    I know another girl who will be there at the same time, Shannon from Maine, going to pick up her son. Maybe you'll meet on a flight!
