Post-Court Day 13

Today we got our quotes for our airline tickets, we made sure our fingerprints were still current, called the doctor about shots etc.
We are using Susan Parr travel agency. The trip to Addis stops in Rome for re-fueling so we are choosing to stay there for 3 days and then finish the trip to Addis. We figured with 5 children under 8 years old we will not get the oppurtunity to visit Rome for a long, long while!

We attended our adoption agency monthly meeting and learned a bit more of the changes that are being made to the Ethiopian adoption program. We also learn that our boys need to be tested for TB to abide by new rules set forth by the CDC. We pray that this does not affect our travel.

The highlights of the day were talking to two more people who have spent time with my boys! An Ethiopian woman from Louisville just returned with 2 girls from Ethiopia. She said "Oh your Yesak's parents! He is very talkative and he runs from one end to the other and talks, talks, talks!" She said Yohannis is "mild". Our agency directors husband met Yesak and said he had fallen asleep in his lap while visiting at the orphanage. He said he calls the orphanage director Papa! Talking to those who have held my boys or played with my boys makes it seem SO REAL!!
