This has been an exciting week. Our friends got their referral, then we passed through court, and now... we have a travel date! And, it is in 2 weeks!! We are planning to leave August 4th. Our embassy date is August 8th. My head is swimming with things to be done, not to mention the extreme excitement level of seeing our little baby boy for the first time!!
I'm so excited - that's all I can say. And, I have a lot to do. :) Tonight - we're off to the Ethiopian restaurant with a few friends to celebrate. And then tomorrow I'll get to work!
Oh, and if you want to see some more pictures from our referral day - go to the CHI Blog. I love the one of our social worker, Erin, and our Program Director, Sharon, seeing Micah Yabsira for the first time - it is priceless. (I think that is what the first pic is - I could be wrong, but it's a great picture anyway :)
Yay for the travel date! I just went to the CHI website and saw the video of you guys seeing Micah - how sweet! It made me teary eyed!
