That's right... unfortunately our case was not passed this week. Looks as though we are needing yet another document. Sooo ... our next court date is March 5th and with God's help we'll be going to get Ana by the end of March.
Yesterday was not a good day for either Kyle or I. I probably took it the worst as Kyle has his work to occupy his mind. Me, however, I ONLY have kid stuff to occupy my mind!! So I had a pity party for myself and told myself to enjoy it while it lasts because tomorrow is a new day! So I did - I cried like there was no tomorrow - filled the garbage with tissues - ate absolutely nothing (hard to believe I know) - and went to bed early (well I was already lying in bed, but I mean I went to sleep early). When I woke up this morning I thanked God for what he has given me - three beautiful children - a wonderful husband - a Mom who comes to my house to watch my pity party - and a Mother-in-law who takes care of my children so that I can have a pity party without being disturbed by "Mom, can you get me a drink?.
I appreciate all the calls, texts, & emails I've gotten sharing your concern and well wishes. I am so blessed to have so many friends and family that are just as excited to meet Ana as I am!
I will let you know of any other glitches, but I am praying that this is it and we'll be given the green light come March. We would really appreciate it if you would continue to pray, not only for us to be able to go in March, but for Ana and her caregivers as well.
Thanks and love to all,
Kathy

No News is Good News
Hi All!
Sorry I haven't written since before Christmas, but we really don't have anything new to relay to you. Our court date remains January 19th and we should find out that day whether the judges have passed our case or not. I have a good feeling that we will pass this time, as they just need to see the document we were missing last time. However, the Ethiopian judges have been a bit cranky as of late (so I hear through our agency) and you just never know what they are thinking. So we wait for the 19th! And we PRAY! Please, please pray that we pass court!! This is our last hurdle per say. Once we pass, the various agencies will produce Ana's birth certificate, passport, and visa. Dereje will pick up those documents once they are complete and then we will get a phone call saying we can book our flight. Now, just how long the agencies will take on producing that paperwork - you never can tell. Could be 1-2 weeks. If we are getting on a plane the first week in February, I will be very happy! If it happens earlier, I will be very, very happy!!
So your prayers are needed!! We appreciate all your inquiries and the excitement you share with us!!
