Embassy date and birth certificates

We have an August 21 embassy date! With all the right documents that allows the girls to leave their birth country.

We received birth certificates for the girls yesterday.

Our oldest adopted daughter's name is recorded as Mihret Stephen Grieshaber with a birthdate of 4/28/06 making her fifteen months.

The youngest daughter is Derartu Stephen Grieshaber with a birthdate of 9/12/06 making her eleven months.

It is a custom in Ethiopia for the daughter to take the father's first and last name and add them to her first name.

We'll be busy this week making plans and packing. Just a tad overwhelming!
