Abraham is coming home!!!!

9 months and 6 days of waiting and today the US embassy cleared our case so now we can fly to Ethiopia and have our visa appointment and bring him home.......FOREVER!!

We received the official e-mail from embassy at 7:04am EST. 

We are rejoicing greatly today and also bustling around packing as I honestly was not expecting to clear and I didn't want to pack so that my hopes wouldn't get too high....silly me!

Jeff and I fly out tomorrow and will be in Addis on Thursday evening, then Friday we will go get our boy!!!

If we can get online to update we will try!  For now, rejoice with us and stay tuned for pictures soon of his homecoming!!!

Tuesday Jan 24th embassy interviews Abraham's uncle!

So here it is Monday morning and I am on pins and needles knowing in less than 24 hours embassy will interview Abraham's uncle and within hours they could clear us.  Please pray for us! Tomorrow will be a day of rejoicing!

I hope to post good news tomorrow!!! Abraham, mommy can't wait to see you again!!!

What a blessing to have other families from AAI taking pics and videos our son!  This couple was with us when we had our court date back in July. They were such a blessing and we are so thankful for this video of our precious boy!

Heard from embassy

So this morning we received the e-mail from embassy requesting an interview with Abrahams uncle as well as needing a corrected translated police report. Our agency has requested that Jan 19th be the interview date, so here's hoping we do get that date and we get cleared quickly after the interview. We did hear that embassy is booked on dates so we're really hoping we don't end up in Feb for the interview!

Pray with us that Jan is the month Abraham comes home!!

Here's some recent pictures of him taken by another family who were with us for court, and they are now home with their baby boy. This was during the Ethiopian Christmas time, Jan 7th.
