We found out Friday that we will not be able to adopt the 3yo brother of M. He is a step-brother and lives with his father who wants to keep him. So we will focus on getting our two girls home. The next step is that they would move to the foster home in Addis Ababa which is the capitol city of Ethiopia. After they are there they will receive their second medical exams. If their tests turn out negative they will then receive a court date.
Unfortunately the courts in Ethiopia close on July 23 for four-six weeks. There is only one judge in all of Ethiopia hearing adoption cases so it is likely that we would not travel to get them until the fall. After the court date they are legally ours and we travel about three weeks or so later to pick them up! We're excited! James has already figured he gets one and I get one, no extras to share with anyone!
