We passed court! It finally happened—earlier today, our case was heard and our adoption was granted by a judge in Ethiopia. We are (at least on paper) a family. It feels both weird and amazing that far away, a document has been written, in a language I don't understand... It is sitting on a desk somewhere in Addis Ababa and it says that I am a mother and Sascha is a father...of these three awesome, beautiful children.I'll post more photos and write again soon, but for now, just wanted to share the glory!
Wow! I feel teary and I'm smiling. Great news. Love, Lisa
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh! Wonderful News!!!! Sending love!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Briana,
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember you! I have been reading your blog during the last month since Amanda provided the link. I'm ecstatic for you guys and your successful court date! I'm sure your travel date can't come soon enough. Meeting your children--what an experience! I hope you continue to blog, I'd love to follow along. We're also in the process of waiting for a referral from CHSFS--only 7 months in, so at least another year to go!
p.s. Your children are so beautiful. Wow.
ReplyDeleteBriana, I'm so happy for you and Sascha! Such wonderful news! It will be good to see you and to meet the children in the future after everyone's settled in. I enjoy reading your blog. xxxooo ---Sheri Liguori
