I spoke with someone at our agency earlier this week, to try to get an idea of how long the process might take in Ethiopia, and she said that because our boys are older (Zerihun is 15, and will age out at 16), they are probably trying to move things as quickly as possible.
Then yesterday, we got an email from the lady in charge of this, and she said that our case has already been submitted to court, and we are just waiting for a court date to be assigned! She said it will probably be in December or January. This would be the first court date, and then we would travel again a month or so after that to bring them home.
This is really exciting, but also a bit daunting, because it gives us less time to come up with the money we need. We were just able to pay the first part of the Ethiopian fee ($4500 - thank you to those who gave generously!), and will need the final part ($5500) when our court date is assigned, as well as the money to travel. Please pray and agree with us for all that we need to come in quickly!
