We received word that the phone conversation the American embassy wanted to have with a party on our Ethiopian adoption case, finally happened today (after about 2 weeks of waiting for it, did you know there's not much voicemail in Ethiopia?). We are desperately praying that the phone call provided the information the embassy was looking for to be able to clear our case and that some time during their half-day workday on Friday (roughly midnight to 4AM tonight our time) they will send us an email that we are cleared to travel and schedule our exit interview in Ethiopia. If this insanely awesome email comes tonight, we will request an appointment next week and fly out this weekend to take custody of our 3 year old little girl!
Over 2 years into this adoption process and here we sit SO. VERY. CLOSE! I can hardly stand it, the suspense, because there is still a scenario where not only are we not cleared, but our case is sent for further investigation that could take months!!!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride a roller coaster constantly for 2 years?
I think I know what that's like. Good thing I have complete trust in the creator and operator of the ride.
I have goosebumps! Did you get an email?!!! Hugs!!
