We have an Embassy Date!
Just wanted to update all my forum friends on our journey. We received our Embassy date, it's scheduled on August 26th.
I'll be departing to Ethiopia on Saturday, August 22 and will arrive on Sunday night. I'm excited, nervous, and just plain thankful that this process was completed so quickly. Our daughter has been living in an orphanage for almost two years. I can't wait to be her mom! I'll post pictures upon our return. We arrive on Sunday, August 29th.
