FEBRUARY 26TH IS OUR DAY!!!! It has to be right?
I spoke with my worker today and received our 3rd (and final :)) court date!! February 26th - one month and one day after Beamlak's birthday. I was also updated on the status of receiving the document that prevented us from passing January 15th, but unfortunately there hasn't been much progress. My worker stated that Gladney will need at least a week to get the document once contact has been made with the person who must complete the document. Just gotta keep my head up! They'll get it, they just have to!
I also was able to speak with Nesredin (my asst and friend) in Addis yesterday and he was so great. I told him about the delay and he knew just how disappointed I was that I would have to miss Beamlak's birthday on Sunday due to this delay - so he offered to take her out for a full day of fun at a new Children's Park in Addis all day so she could at least know that I'm thinking of her and allowing Nesredin the time to make sure she knows just how much I do love her and how hard I am trying to return to Addis to bring her home. A special day just for her - as long as the director gives permission it's a go. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.
I'm just so grateful! So grateful to so many people I have met during this process. Thanks again for all the well wishes. She WILL be home soon. Not soon enough but soon!

Arrggggghhh!! I'm so sorry about your court date. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I pray your February court date will be the last one. I know it is so frustrating. I know you wanted to be with her on her birthday.
We have been in Dallas the last week so I had been out of touch until this morning. Our daughter had her baby three months early and he is in the NICU here. He is 1pound, 13 ounces and astounding the doctors with his progress. She gets to hold him skin to skin for the first time today so she is excited.
We will be keeping up with your progress.

I return from South Africa on the 28th. So, while I'm there on the 26th, I make a HUGE scream in your honor that will be heard all the way up to Ethiopia to get this thing finalized!!!
