Court date

Another update on our process to bring home Matea Mimi. We received an email from our specialist at CHS which said that we have a tentative court date of June 9th! We don't have to do anything for this - it is all happening over in Ethiopia. If all goes well, on June 9th she will legally become our daughter. We will then get a birth certificate and a travel date, and we will be on our way to Africa. It is looking like we may be traveling at the end of July or sometime in August.

One last thing about the court date- sometimes things don't go exactly right in court and the case gets re-scheduled. I'm not even entirely sure what keeps the cases from going "through" - it seems to things completely out of our control, for example, paperwork that we have nothing to do with. We will know the outcome of our court hearing a few days after it happens.

So HAPPY FRIDAY!

This is so exciting! I've been praying lots that you would get through the first time! Can't wait to see her birth certificate with Peterson on it!!!
