Court Hearing







We are glad to report that we passed our court hearing in Ethiopia on our first try and our adoption has been approved. We were approved on July 31st while on our annual family trip with the Swensons, Jacksons and Weisbergs(as previewed above). On Monday August 9th we will recieve our date telling us when we will need to be in Ethiopia for our embassy meeting. This will probably be around the 3rd week of Septmeber. We are now in the process of making our travel arrangements and getting our house ready for a baby. There is a lot of work to be done but we cant wait for Griffin to get here.
