Hello All,
A little update on the status of our court date. Our court date is scheduled for March 26th. That's the great news - it's now under two weeks away. Gladney let me know February 26th that this would be our new court date and that they were confident they would be able to complete the new process to get the document in that time. Great! And it's true - they completed the process. The bad news - the document isn't sufficient for MoWA (as in it is not worded correctly). So what does that mean? Does it mean that they return to the court and request re-wording of the document?
Nope - not that simple - which I still do not completely understand. Now they have decided that the best opportunity to receive a document in the exact language that MoWA prefers will be by traveling to Hossaina, to request the document from a kebele there (Beamlak's birth family is from this town in SNNPR, though Beamlak was born in Addis).
All we can hope for now is that they will issue a document in the exact language MoWA prefers - otherwise - I don't know what the other options are.
I'm sure hoping March 26th is our day. Right after our last court date I wrestled with the decision to travel to Ethiopia - even after finding out that I would not be allowed to visit Beamlak. I finally decided that I just couldn't make the trip - there was no way that I could travel all the way to Ethiopia, visit Addis and not visit the home that was and continues to be the home of my heart.

This is a very early morning post.... I'm assuming you haven't been sleeping better :(
Here's to hoping it goes well!!!
I'm hoping more than anything that this will work out this time. I know you're probably so defeated at this point but hang in there- this will come to an end and in time you'll hardly be able to remember this awful feeling you have in your heart right now.
I saw you on the meet up for BU09, we won't be able to hit the Tulsa get together but I would love to try and meet you in Chicago for a girls weekend- what do you think? (Outside the fact that your life is currently on hold)
