Looking good, I'd have to say, and very healthy!

I'm picturing him in a tiny suit and tie, with briefcase, but Gina tells me it will probably be the social worker that goes to court for him.  :)

Getting there... at a snail's pace ;)


Hello All!

Well April 3rd, our court date, is getting closer! This is the last court preceding in Ethiopia before we get our travel date. Here is a photo of what our life will be like in about 3 months. Enjoy!
The doll seems to be close to Oliver's size but Lola is a lot chubbier than the little doggie!

What's new?

Well...we have been officially fingerprinted, immunized and "paperworked" as much as the United States government has seen fit to this point. We are confident there will be more paperwork at some point! We are now just "patiently" waiting.

We should receive an update and photos at the end of March. Stay tuned! We will not be able to post the pictures but we'll let you know and we'll make sure you can see little Oliver! Our court date is April 3rd. After the court date, barring any postponement, we will get our travel date a week or two after that. We are hoping to travel in May but we are at the mercy of the process and we know Oliver is in very good care.

The only other happening lately was wonderful baby shower hosted by our good friend Leah! Thanks Leah! The shower was Crosswinds get together it was a lot of fun and a really good morale booster. Who knew babies needed so many little things! Brian was amazed by the tiny socks! Thanks again to everyone for their support.
