We found out a few days ago that our court date could be July 12 but to not make any arrangements because some paper work was missing and we would not know for sure until the end of the week. That leaves us with less than 1 week to plan. So we found out today that we are confirmed and ready to go. We will leave next Thursday the 8th and return the following Thursday. Well, we will leave Ethiopia on Wednesday and be back home Thursday. Because of such short notice there are no tickets on Ethiopian Airlines. They have a direct flight that stops in Rome to refuel. Good and bad. You don't get to get off the plane but you get to Ethiopia faster. So kevin has until 4:00pm today to make arrangements with a travel agency to get us to Germany then to Ethiopia. Needless to say, this is not enough time to really get ready but we have no choice. We have all of our paperwork ready to go and need to get one thing notarized. We are pros at that!
I told JT today that we are going to see Jonah and that he will be staying with Bubbe Stell and Grandpa Al. He didn't have much to say. But he will love being with them and will have a great time. We will give him a present to open each night when we are gone. Just some little things I have been saving up for him.
We will get to see Jonah next Saturday. We will be able to hang out with him and take photos. By Monday the 12th, if all goes well, he will be officially ours and a US citizen and pictures can be posted.
More to come.......
