The Wayfarer: Ethiopian Adoption Resources

Here is a web site that has a bunch of great articles n Ethiopian adoption. I enjoyed a bunch of them.

So, we are waiting for a court date and final settlement on WHO we are adopting. I think we will know tomorrow or Tuesday on the WHO and I hope also the court date. We pray that they pass the court date the first time through. This is a time when the court of Ethiopia looks at the papers of the boys and sees that they are in order and they are adoptable. They look at the papers of the family who they are matched to and see that they are in order and a good family. Some things that would delay a court would be power outages, over booking, in correct papers, supplies running out, etc. So, we wait.

What do we do while we wait? Well, we take swimming lessons (with some friends), finish the basement, garden ( We put in 4 trees and I am reworking a few overgrown beds), work (Dave has big work in June with students and teachers) , read books, blogs, web sites, group email, learn all we can, try our hand at Amharic, go to a picnic with other families who adopted or are in process from Ethiopia, we went to see Prince Caspian (good), and we saw an African drum group at the Pikes Peak Center (interesting). I am also finding out what to do in Ethiopia, and hoping to get there for less than we have seen listed. :)

Well, waiting is not my strong suit. But we have lots to do. Still eager to hear good news from the land of our son's birth!
