We found out today that the agency now expects that families will be traveling 5 weeks after they pass court! That is SOON! Our tentative court date is April 28, 2010. Assuming we don't get "bumped" to a new date, that would mean traveling to Ethiopia in early June. It is thrilling to think of having A home so soon and spending the summer with him!
On another note, thank you to everyone who helped us prepare our care package for A. I checked in today and it hasn't actually gone to Ethiopia yet, but should be traveling with one of the Minnesota families who is going over to pick up their child.
Edited to Add (ETA): The travel-for-court rule doesn't go into effect until May, so we're just under the wire and will only need to travel to pick up A, experience Ethiopia, and bring him home. After everything else in our adoption process moving so slowly, we are amazed that this part is moving so quickly!
Wow that's awesome!!!
