...we are very sad today

We did NOT pass court.
The judge wanted the orphanage license and "they did not produce it quickly enough".

No words can describe the sadness. No words can make me understand why. No words can make me not miss my boys more and more every second. No words can make this "alright".

The worse part is knowing it could happen again. My little one will most likely turn 2 before I hold him. He most surely will walk before I see. I am bummed my friends...bummed.

We have been reassigned for January 21st.

sorry to hear that you did not pass court. i know this adoption process is so hard and there is so much waiting. i just cling to the hope that it will all be worth it once we hold our child in our arms!
to answer your question, i just estimated our travel date, but our agency does not really give a set time for travel after court. they vaguely give an estimate around 2 to 4 weeks, but it could be longer, even up to 6 weeks. i think it depends on your appointment with the embassy to get your child's visa paperwork, but i am not positive of this. maybe someone who has already traveled can help more with this question?
hang in there!!

I'm so sorry that you didn't pass court. Praying that your new date comes quickly & all goes well.

We'll probably be in Ethiopia at the same time. :)

Thanks for your comment on our blog. It helps to know we aren't alone in dealing with the frustrations of the Ethiopian court processing. We are trying to trust that God will be faithful in all of this. Can't wait to hear more good news about your boys.
