Progress.

Last Thursday our paperwork was submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We are not sure when we will hear if everything is approved and when we will need to be in ET to have our embassy appointment and MOST importantly have Bek in our arms forever. We are hoping and hoping for good news SOON. Just the thought of that gives me chills and sends happy tears rolling down my cheeks. He has been without a mother's arms for almost 9 months. While I do not doubt he is being loved and well taken care of, it is not the same as the love of a family.

Bekalu John we can't wait to have you join our family forever.
It's going to be such a happy amazing incredible unbelievable giddy heartbreaking hearthealing lovely over the moon kinda day.

  2. It is so wonderful getting to see your family move forward. You're so close now! I hope you hear back soon about your embassy date. Can you believe your next contact is going to be finding out when you get to fly back and be with him forever?!?! How unbelievably exciting!

  4. MOTHER OF GOD let's go already! I hope it's soon, Heather. SOON! You have weathered this gracefully.

    Our boys were with Gladney for nine months too. They were well cared for and well prepared to receive our families love.
