I called as soon as BFAS opened this morning to ask about our court date and they said they would call me back after they had contacted Ethiopia. One hour later at 11:02 am we found out that WE PASSED!!! (this means the Ethiopian courts officially name Torrey & I as Sifan's legal parents) Estimated Embassy date will be June 18th or July 2nd..... we are praying for the 18th (especially since we have already purchased tickets leaving the 12th and coming home June 19th!)
Our agency has asked that we not post pictures until we are home so unfortunately we will have to wait a few more weeks to post them here! (Sorry!)
So PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING that Sifan's TB test comes back clean and we get the June 18th embassy date!!!!!!!!
